My daughters have birthday months that are exactly six months apart, so while I had clothes that fit my new baby, they were summer clothes when I needed winter clothes! So I created this pattern. My children wear onesies practically daily until they are around 2 years old. I find them essential in a baby wardrobe, and great for layering.

This pattern includes many options to customize the onesie to your needs. Long sleeves or Short sleeves, Folded cuff, or Ribbed cuff, 3 neckline options, including a very clean look with no collar, a peter pan collar, and a traditional shirt collar. The collared versions are super cute for layering, and give a slightly more dressed up look, while the collarless version is the perfect staple piece. The keyhole opening is large enough so the onesie can be put on and taken off from the top or bottom of the baby. This opening can also be placed on the front or back of the onesie according to your preference. Finally, there are options for buttonholes, or a sewn on snap closure for the closure at the bottom.

I know that a child comes with a lot of expenses, and we might want to make them something nice, but are unable to justify the price of a pattern. To help I’ve decided to add these codes to use at checkout so you just pay what you can.
