D.I.Y - doily toddler shirt

Yes friends today is the 'cuter version' of how to upcycle your doilies... since our last post covered stitching them onto the 'big mamas' sweater.  My gal Azriel is in a particularly adorable frame of mind to show off this sweet addition to her striped onesie.

Who could resist those puppy eyes.. c'mon really?

Maybe she learned it from her mama since this is the look I give Ben when I want chocolate.

So here's the super fast.stupid easy.tutorial (you know, my specialty of do.it.yourself projects!)

Grab your granny's doily, grab your daughter's onesie/shirt.

1. Fold doily in half over the collar of shirt.

2. Run a zig-zag stitch border around the doily (seen in red above).

That's it!  That's quick!

(I didn't even trim the doily inside the shirt.. it adds a good backing/stiffness to the shirt front.)

Now the key is restraint to not add these to all her shirts!

 

Azriel is wearing:

Upcycled onesie: mama-made.

Jeans: Zellers.
