Using the scraps from another project, I decided to create some onesie extenders for my son and some friends' babies with this fun butterfly organic flannel from Stork & Me.


Because we use cloth diapers, I find that many of my son's onesies do not fit for long when having to go around the extra cloth bulk. Onesies were still fitting him in the arms, but were not able to be snapped at the bottom.


To create these extenders, I sewed two pieces of flannel together and added some snaps to create an extension for his onesies so that they will fit longer! This was a great way to use up some scrap material :)
I've been having some fun creating some sewing projects lately! First up I wanted to create some burp cloths for one of my friends. I received similar burp cloths for my son from another friend and was inspired to create my own pattern to use. My Mom showed me how to do this using tissue paper. This was my first sewing project that did not involve sewing in a straight line - ha!


I found this beautiful organic flannel from Stork & Me. You may wonder, why organic fabric? What's the difference? I've been looking into this as I was wondering myself. Organic fabrics are made from crops that do not contain harmful chemicals and use far less water to create than synthetic fabrics and regular cottons. The dyes used on these fabrics are also low or non-toxic, making them especially ideal to use when creating baby items.


I find this design lays really nicely on a shoulder.


I cannot wait to create more with this beautiful fabric :)
