Rachel Rossi shares a sweet guide on how to sew a knotted baby onesie gown with a free pattern, showing you how to turn a basic bodysuit into a snug newborn sleeper. It is a fantastic upcycling project that breathes new life into plain or stained onesies while making nighttime diaper changes effortless.
The project works best with standard bodysuits (sized 0 to 9 Months) that have envelope necklines, allowing you to pull the gown down over the baby’s shoulders without struggling over their head. You simply cut across the lower half of the onesie, stitch on a length of coordinating knit fabric. Finish the bottom with extended ties that knot securely to keep tiny toes warm. Because it requires only a small cut of stretchy knit fabric, it is a fast stash buster and a thoughtful baby shower present. Grab an extra onesie, download the template, and stitch up this cozy DIY knotted baby gown for everyday comfort and easy dressing!
