If you need a super quick and simple baby gift this embellished onesie is perfect. (I really need to borrow a baby to model this cute onesie!)
For this ruffled butt onesie no need to cut strips of fabric and finish edges. I used 1 1/2 inch wide organza ribbon. So grab a onesie (a nicer quality one than I had on hand) and some ribbon and you are ready to go.
Position the ribbon where you want the ruffle and measure three times the width. Repeat this for each of the three (or more) rows. I had three lengths of ribbon in slightly decreasing size.
Place Fray Check on the end of each ribbon to keep it from unraveling and fraying.
With the longest straight stitch sew down the middle of each length of ribbon. Pull thread to gather.
Pin ribbon to onesie. I started at the top with the longest ribbon and worked down.
Sew gathered ribbon to the onesie by stitching down the middle of the ribbon.
Repeat for next two rows. My rows were spaced just less than an inch apart.
Imagine the possibilities— hot pink polka dot ribbon with a matching handmade ribbon flower on the front………Just make sure you choose ribbon that is washable!
I used a piece of 1/2 inch ribbon and a ribbon detail to embellish the front.
I love this! It is so cute and such a fast, easy project!
Thanks for sharing!
Good grief! And it’s not even that late – *flower*
This is adorable! I love the extra touch with the flour at the neckline. That really pulls it all together. Great job!

So cute and it looks much easier than I thought. I’m definitely going to make one of these for my new granddaughter who is coming next month.
Adorable! Thanks for the tutorial…
This is very sweet!
Just a word of caution, make sure that the lace is down enough that it doesn’t touch the skin around the neck. It could be verra itchy on a baby’s skin!
