I had been struggling for an idea of how to use the leftover zebra fabric from Gidget's new dress when I checked my daily blog roll and discovered the solution! One Pretty Thing is packed full of great DIY ideas, if you don't follow it, you should! I found a tutorial for this ruffle tank top from Pretty Partridge's blog and a tutorial for a ruffle butt onesie from Crap I've Made on UCreate. I just knew my best friend's little girls would be precious in these! Of course, I had to add the fleur de lis applique to make them unique!
As promised, here are my latest creations straight from my trusty ol' sewing machine:
Both of these were relatively simple to make, since they basically just required straight stitching. Plus, I got to discover a new trick my sewing machine can do....you can't really see too well in the photos, but I finished the edges in a cute zig-zag stitch that will prevent fraying. The tank top only took me about 20 or 30 minutes, and the onesie took a couple hours, only because I was learning the new stitch and following the tutorial online step-by-step. And I traced out the fleur de lis from a wooden embellishment, then applied them using iron-on adhesive paper.
Too cute!
oh how cute. i could see little girls enjoying these. the onesie is adorable.

Hi there! I found your comment on U Create and had to see how your finished project came out! Totally adorable! So, you used the original option but instead of using the serger you did a zig zag, right? Did you fold over the edge? I'm a total sewing newbie so I'm very curious, because I too love the look of the original option.
ReplyDeleteI love yours too! What a great color combo!
