Refashioning Onesies!

When I found out I was pregnant with my sweet little girl I was given clothes from everyone that had a baby recently..some of them ended up being little boy onesies and I decided to hold onto them because I had a friend who was having a baby at the same time. Well we all ended up having girls so what was I supposed to do with these onesies? Well I needed to girly them up!
The first one I started with was a brown and white striped onesie that was pretty cute just not very girly. So I grabbed some brown polka dot ribbon and headed off to the sewing machine.

*warning: I don't know how to sew the "right" way..I kinda make it up as I go and hope it works*

So I made sure that the first ruffle was along the butt,right about where the leg holes start on the onesie. Then I started sewing,just a normal straight stitch. Every so often I would just hold the onesie in place while keeping my foot on the pedal so that the ribbon would gather. I sewed over the ends the ribbon and then went back over the top completely so that there were no more gaps. Then I sewed one more 1/4 inch under the top of the first. Super easy and only took me about 20 minutes!

What do you think?
