Sentimentality.
I have this bad sometimes.
Which means I don't get rid of things that I really should.
Like wee clothes that my children have grown out of.

See this happy cow?





He was placed on a little onesie courtesy of a very cool lady who has a very cool lady who does amazing screenprinted items.
We all loved this onesie and got lots of use of it.
But babies grow, as they are wont to do.
I didn't want to give up the jovial bovine, however.
So he went into a pile of "SAVE THIS OR I WILL DIE!" clothing and things in the bottom of my kids' closet.
Yesterday I started to try and do something interesting and fun with some of these items.
Including the cow and the moon.

The before:



And the after:


Wee pants!
I used this very easy tutorial to make the pants.
I had an old cut-up sweatshirt from a few years ago that came in handy.
I made the patch by cutting the screenprinted part of the onesie and using steam2seam fusible webbing.
After I ironed the patch onto the pants I did a simple straight-stitch along the edges.
I then took some more of the onesie solid black material and made a waistband to which I fed 3/8 inch elastic through and voila!
Baby lounge pants!
They are cozy and adorable.

Now I liked this method very much.
I soon took scissors to two more favored onesies of my littlest one.
This one is another from the aforementioned screenprinted lady.

Before:



Truth be told, my husband hated that puffer fish.
I LOVED it.
You never see baby clothes like that!
I could not give it up.
So I made my oldest son a hand-me-UP!

After:

And one last one before I go.

Before:



Now this dinosaur guy was from my oldest son, he grew out of it, it went to my littler guy, then he grew out of it.
These kids and their GROWING!
Well, I liked that dino, so he is now residing here:







I thrifted the green shirt and added the dino using above method.
He looks happy, no?
ROAR!


Thank you for reading as always.

Everyone please have a wonderfully happy day!

Cheers!
