March 29th, 2007 by Heather My daughter is really tall and thin, so she outgrows her onesies in length before she outgrows them in body size. I hated the fact that she would only wear them for a couple of months and they were still in nearly new condition, but they were no longer useful. I decided to make some into shirts for her, so that she can get more wear and use out of them.
I started with a onesie that was too small lengthwise.
I then cut off the bottom snap part right above the leg elastic. I used a ruler to make sure I cut it straight across.
I finished the edge of the shirt using the rolled hem on my serger. However, if you don’t have a serger you could simply finish the edge with a zig zag stitch and then sew a hem.
And there you have it - a cute shirt that can be used for a little bit longer!
