Follow this quick 4-step tutorial:
- Unbutton the onesie and measure the width of the backside of your onesie and cut two strips of coordinating fabric of about 2″ long by twice the width of the onesie (best is woven cotton fabric). Then draw a straight line about 1/2 inch up from where the legs start, from one side to the other using a fabric marker or pencil.
- Serge the edges of the fabric strips (if you don’t have a serger you can cut the fabric 1″ longer and 1″ wider and fold in the edges twice 1/4″, sew them down. Gather your fabric along the top edge to the width of the backside of the onesie. The pin along the drawn line (only through the backside layer of the onesie). Sew the ruffle down using a stretch stitch. Backstitch the beginning and end.
- Repeat step 2 and 3 and sew on a second row of ruffles.
All done!
Your cute ruffle butt onesie is done!
