my gorgeous friend bianca has just taken off to south africa with her baby boy mason (who i am notsosecretly hoping will marry miss maddie when she grows up...) for her slightly younger brothers wedding. mason is just under a year younger than maddie and so isn't really fitting into any formal childrenswear just yet - so i undertook the task of making him a formal onesie with a tie on it. oh my... what was i thinking? i don't know... but it worked! and not only did it work, it actually looked good! i totally want to make more of them, and i totally want a baby boy of my own to make them for now - but i guess that'll have to wait! haha.
so - i was stoked, our local target has a clearance section and i got a plain white onesie for $1.10 score! and a $2 silver silk tie from the local vinnies. i cut the skinny end of the tie, and used that for the tail, and cut the point off the tie and fashioned it into a knot shape and pushed the lining inside it to make it thick like a regular tie, before stitching that on the top. like i said, it's a long way to go before i have it perfected, but i am happy to keep trying!
so here we have it! my first tie onesie. can't wait to see baby mase rocking it at the wedding!
