I was checking my baby's drawer the previous days, as segregating clothes that no longer fit him is a must. The portion of his stuff should be spacious, as I recently bought some, which is why I decided to declutter. Indeed, babies are like balloons that suddenly grow bigger in the blink of an eye. Onesies and newborn clothes? Sadly, I found a few pieces that are still unused. Nope, not that I haven't seen it, just I thought it was still too big for him 🤣. Yet, when I tried it, gosh, it no longer fits 🤣.
I kept it all in a frosted zip lock so it would be easy to find it, just in case I will be needing it again. I still wanted to have another baby, perhaps a little girl that I could dress up. However, after what I have been through, I am not sure if I can make it again. So, for now, this will be kept in the corner of our closet, not unless @ruffatotmeee decides to have a baby. LOL, will gladly send it to her; just hit the DM in case, Ruffa girl 😆.
Among the pile of clothes, I found these onesies. Then I remembered that all were unused. Thus, all are long sleeves, which are inappropriate for the weather here in my country. Well, I didn't purchase these as they were passed down by my sister-in-law. She lives in Canada, which explains why. Well, it is okay to use if our house has an air conditioner, but sadly, I haven't purchased them yet.
So, in order for my baby to be used, a few repairs were needed.
Starting with this one as I find it cute, cut the sleeves.
It is more comfortable for him.
Sewing? I haven't tried it for years, so I didn't have scissors for it. It could be something sharp, so use a cutter.
Now, what is needed is a running stitch on both sides.
It's a good thing I have this. Actually, everyone should have it. You can't just borrow from neighbors, right? Our mother raised us not to.
It's been a while, but at some point, it tangled 🤣. Maintaining the straight line and the gaps wasn't that easy.
A few more strokes, and I managed!
It's not as good as the sewing machine stitch, but at least okay. Sewing this took me a day or three. Nope, not because it was that hard, but just doing it in my free time. (When the baby was asleep, and I was done with household chores.)
Here is the finished product. My baby was comfortable wearing it the other night.
Just one done and three more to go.
