Ringer Onesie Sew Along Finale - Sew the Snaps

Its our eighth and final day of the sew along.Wow! I followed it through and am finally done with the onesie. I'm mighty proud of myself.

Tutorial for Ringer Onesie by Shwin and Shwin


Today's task is:
Attach the snaps
 

Now if you are reading this and haven't done it yet...stop right here, get the snaps plier ( or whatever that gadget is) and use it to nicely place snaps on this onesie you made with so much effort.
I tried to use a snap tape and almost wrecked the project because of it. Not fun!
If you don't have and dont want to invest in a snap plier just sew some velcro in there.
However, the onesie still looks good once it is closed so I'm still giving it a passing grade and I have concluded that I love Shauna's Ringer Onesie pattern. Its just perfect. Now that this sew along has given me the confidence, I plan to sew many more of these onesies. Hopefully they will go much faster but even if they don't, I'm ok with it. After all, its the journey that matters, doesn't it?

Ringer Onesie Sew Along - Day 6

On to Day 6 of the ringer onesie sew-along. My days have been busy but I managed to make progress on the onesie. Blogging about it, on the other hand, was a different story. Yet here I am and here is my onesie with finished armholes.

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

Today's tasks:

1. Finish sleeves with binding
2. Sew the side seams

3. Find a small piece of interfacing and three snaps for the next days.

Isn't the onesie looking cute now? I can't wait to finish it in a couple of days.

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...

Sew Along Day 1:

• Print out the Ringer Onesie Pattern
• Read the complete Ringer Onesie tutorial

and that's it for the day...see you tomorrow with your pattern print outs...
Happy Sewing!
