Sewing for baby

I have been helping a friend with some sewing projects for her new sweet girl's nursery on Tuesdays.  We have been having weekly sewing dates during Madeline's morning nap on Tuesdays.  All this sewing has spurred me to do a few projects on my list for my sweet girl.  Today I knocked out two of them and I am very pleased with how both turned out.

This first is a "bapron"  a bib-apron combo, for my girl who is eating now and needs to keep tidy.  This one is reversible and ties on the shoulder and on the back.  Next time I think I would do a button or velcro on the shoulder as the tie is kind of distracting for her.

I also made this t-shirt dress.  I used a old onesie that was too wide when it was her size and now fits her around the middle but was too short to snap.  This dress was so easy.  I just cut two big squares three times as wide as the onesie, sewed them together using french seams and then folded pleats until it fit the onesie.  I cute the onesie off at the bottom and sewed the skirt portion to the onesie top.  I would have liked to do a sash in a coordinating color, but I couldn't find anything in my stash so I used some rick-rack instead and it turned out cute.  This is such a great way to use an old t-shirt to make a quick dress out of scrap material.  I will definitely make more of these when she is a toddler.
