football onesie

My nephew plays football, so I thought it would be cute to make my niece a little football onesie (my sister in law made the skirt & headband...but you can find a similar tutorial here). I haven't gotten to see her in it yet, but my father-in-law sent me these cute pictures. __________________________________________ Here's what you'll need to make your own:

a onesie (this one was 3-9 months)

some RIT dye

a bucket & hot water

piece of white felt

matching thread

needle or sewing machine

I started by dying my onesie - it needed to be a nice "football" color brown. I used a bucket and followed the instructions on the box. Then I washed and dried it (actually...I made 2 in case I messed one up...)

Next, I cut my felt to resemble laces. I just eyeballed what size to make them and how they would fit best on the onesie. Piece by piece (starting with the long piece going down the middle) I machine stitched them to the onesie.

There you have it! A few easy steps and you have a cute, football onesie.

Also, before I go: Did you know that I was sharing some of my favorite finds under $10 over at Happy Go Lucky? If you have a minute, I'd love for you to check it out!
