Pinterest Challenge

I was doing some blog surfing last night and came across this little "Pinterest Challenge" that four awesome bloggers started - Rebecca from Better Life Bags, Amanda from Ninth Street Notions, Kara from Happy Go Lucky and Ashlee from I'm Topsy Turvy.  If you're like me, you have a TON of great ideas pinned, but needed the extra motivation to try them.  This "Pinterest Challenge" is all the motivation I needed to get off my butt and start creating!

I've been wanting to try making these "onesie" dresses for a while now and came across the tutorial (which I pinned) from Prudent Baby.  They referred to it as the 10 Minute Onesie Dress, it actually took me a bit longer - may be more like 25 minutes, but I'm sure with a little more practice it won't take me that long (seriously though, 25 minutes is hardly a long project!)  This dress is super easy and you're friends will think you're a rockstar...or not...but at least your baby will have the nicest onesie on the block!   Here's Stage One of the finished product:

I think that it's adorable, but wanted to do something to dress it up a bit.  I have also seen on pinterest people adding ties or belts to their "old shirt turned dress" creations and thought I should give it a try.  So, I found some coordinating fabric that I had leftover from a pillowcase dress I made and made a tie.  (Note - I didn't pin any of these ties, I just made it up as I went along...I'm sure that there is an easier way to do it than I did, but if you'd like to know my method please email me and I'll share my technique!)

I have to say that this dress is so cute!   I love how it turned out and plan on making more for my twin daughters...I may even add some to my etsy shop:)

Ta Da...my finished onesie dress with tie!
