Christmas Onesie - Boy

Looking for something cute for your handsome baby boy to wear on Christmas?  This onesie is easy to make and the colors are versatile--he can wear it year round.



What you need:
-Onesie
-Ribbon
-Fabric scraps
-Two buttons
-Needle and thread
-Scissors
-Lighter

Instructions:
1. Cut ribbon to desired length.  Burn the ends with a lighter to prevent fraying.
2. Pin ribbon to onesie to reduce movement while sewing.  Hand sew ribbon to onesie making sure to tie large enough knots so that they do not slip through the onesie.

3. Cut two 4 x 6 inch pieces of fabric.  With like-sides together, sew around the outside leaving approximately one inch to pull the fabric through.  Flip the fabric inside out and sew the one inch gap. 
4. Cut one 6 x 2 inch strip of fabric.  Fold under and sew 1/4 inch on each side (hot dog style).  With like-sides together, sew the two ends together.  Turn inside out.
5. Pull the rectangle halfway through the loop you've just made.
6. Take the bowtie to the onesie.
7. Sew on two buttons making sure they are VERY secure.  I keep the 'extra' buttons that come with a new shirt or pair of pants, that way, I have plenty of extra buttons laying around!
