I saw a tutorial on Prudent Baby for making a dress from a onesie. I had an extra onesie left over from a Christmas gift for my great niece Miss Audrey Lou. So of course, I had to try it. I have this cute bumble bee fabric and thought it would be perfect.
And since accessories are everything, I decided to add a matching headband. After I finished the headband, I thought it would be cute to put a similar flower on the shoulder of the onesie. Now, I do have to say that making the dress was a bit harder than I thought it would be. 
I followed the directions, attached the skirt, and luckily before I sewed the seam I realized it was pinned so the skirt would be wrong side out. I unpinned and repinned and then realized the only skirt seam was in the middle of the front of the dress. So I unpinned and repinned and fixed it.Or so I thought. Sooooo, the only seam on the skirt is right in the middle of the front of the dress!
But as you can see Audrey doesn't mind at all and I am telling myself that it really isn't too noticeable.
The tutorial is great and making the dress was not hard.
I think it took Audrey's mom Liz and I longer to get these "action" shots of Audrey than it did for me to make the dress!
It's a great idea because it has the diaper cover built in!
This kiddo can't hold still for even a minute!
I couldn't decide which type of headband to use, but eventually went with the wider elastic lacy one...
Isn't she the cutest baby model ever???
While we were taking these pictures, Audrey's big sis Laney had a major meltdown because I didn't make her a dress like Audrey's. We tried to explain this dress was only for babies, but Laney continued to howl...until I reminded her that I had brought her a "princess dress" (a fancy pink and black party dress from Goodwill) a few months ago and didn't give Audrey a princess dress. Then she was fine, although she did need to sit on my lap for a while and get lots of hugs.
