Actually, I've been fairly confident that the cutest thing on the entire planet to put on a baby is a baby gown for quite some time now. It's so much cuter than the traditional onesie, or really anything else. However, find a decent tutorial was nearly impossible. And then, I stumbled on this while browsing Pinterest:
This tutorial even features little flaps to cover munchkin's hands! I love the concept of munchkin clothing made out of cool t shirts, especially seeing as most t shirts are made out of a less stretchy jersey, making it very easy to sew.
I will admit that I've already tried this pattern, and once I got over the anxiety of hemming the neckline, the rest was excessively easy, and actually kind of fun. It only took about 2 hours total to make, and even though I used an annoyingly stretchy jersey and an eighth of my normal amount of effort for the first try, it still turned out relatively well.
This is, indeed, my new favorite thing to sew. I plan on hitting up Goodwill tomorrow after work to look for some awesome t shirts to revamp, as you really can't have too many of these. Also, I feel as though, depending on the size of the shirt, you might get more than one of these out of it.
Anyway, it's 11:30pm, so understandably, I'll wait until tomorrow to post pictures of my little creation. If I have the chance, I'll post some pictures of my new t shirts as well.
More to come,
Kati
