There's a new baby in town and you want to make them something special. How about making them a handmade baby onesie? How fun would it be to be able to choose your own fabric. Plus, this project is quick and easy. After you finish, you'll be inspired to make another, because a newborn can't have too many new onesies. Along with our step by step tutorial, we also provide you with a free pattern. Please note, the size of this pattern is newborn but you can always adjust it for other sizes as well. Also, be sure to use knit fabric as it's important to be stretchy and that you prewash your fabric before cutting out your fabric. For an extra professional looking detail, we show you how to add individual snaps. Are you ready to make a newborn baby onesie now? Let's do it!

Lovely tutorial and so well explained. Onesie turned out perfect!
I’ll be making this very soon as a welcome baby gift, have two very pregnant family members, thank you for your tutorials
yes, you can. You’ll probably have to cut 2 strips for the binding to make it work but it shouldn’t be a problem.
Can you use fabric that is only 42 inch wof ?
yay!!! You can do it! 🙂
You can try using your printer function to enlarge the pattern but, unfortunately, I can’t tell you what percentage to enlarge by. I would recommend experimenting and using some cheap knit to cut out the front and back and just baste them together at the top and side seam so you can try it on your kid to see if it’ll fit. I hope it works for you!
Thank you for this!!! I’ve been searching for a great onesie video. I just start sewing yesterday and i started making a onesie first.
Sorry about my question, but I am kind of new in sewing clothes and I am not sure what I would have to do to modify it to fit a 6-month baby. Any help, please?? 🙂 Thanks.
That’s correct, because the fabric is already stretchy. Yeah, once all the prep work is done, it comes together pretty quickly 🙂
I assume you don’t need to actually cut the bias strips on the bias? Not counting washing/drying/pressing of fabric…or coffee breaks..and using hand-sewn snaps, it took just over 3hrs.
