Ringer Onesie Sewalong - Day 5 - Sew the shoulder, Sew on the neck binding

We are on day 5 of the ringer onesie sew-along. I didn't mean to take the weekend off but it turned out to be really hectic and I couldn't do any sewing or blogging. So I am going to pick up right where I left and make progress on this onesie.

Here is a link to the Ringer Onesie Tutorial and Pattern at Shwin and Shwin  if you want to double check something ( always a good idea).

Today's tasks:

1. Sew shoulder seams on one side
2. Sew on the neck binding.

I didn't check how Shauna was finishing up the neck binding and sewed incorrectly. No, I'm not going to unpick and fix it. This project has to live with a tiny imperfection. However, if you aren't sure about something, read the tutorial again, pretty please!

Baby Ringer Onesie Free Sewing Pattern by Shwin and Shwin

I think Shauna of Shwin and Shwin did a great service to humankind sewingkind by sharing a free pattern and tutorial for Ringer Onesie.  A onesie is such a workhorse of baby wardrobe that no new mom can have too many of these. Since all of us have at least one friend who is expecting or just had a baby at any given point in time, these make the perfect present to keep on hand.

With that in mind I have decided to do a sew along of Shauna's Ringer onesie pattern. To be able to to follow through and really have fun making these, I'm going to go super slow. I'm thinking of spending about 15 mins  everyday prepping/cutting/sewing these and hopefully within a week or so I will have a cute handmade onesie.

Why should I participate in this sew-along?

• Well, like I just said you probably have a preggo friend or cousin or niece or someone and these make great gifts.
• We are going to go super slow so you could sew along easily and have a wearable project ready in a week or so. If you can't sew-along any day you could just catch up the next day.
• This is a judgement free zone so even if you can't follow through till the end, its fine. At least you have tried.
• I'm setting up a flickr pool specifically for this sew-along and there will be a Sew and Show at the end of Sew Along. So if you wanted to show off your talents on Blooms And Bugs here is your chance.

So lets get going...
