Zoe Can Finally Wear Those Onesies

October 25, 2013

Remember that first onesie I made?

And then I just couldn’t help myself and I made a bunch more?

You’ll probably also remember that we never made them fasten on the bottom and in fact fucked up the only one we tried to

Whoopsie.

Well, because I used a 6-9 month onesie as the template, and Zoe now wears that onesie, I figured it was about time to make them fasten so that she can wear them before she outgrows them. Genius over here.

Me and the snaps just weren’t jiving so I decided to just go with velcro that we already had on hand

Chris and I never snap the middle snap on Zoe’s onesies, so I thought using 2 pieces of velcro like only using the two snaps would be sufficient enough. I cut the velcro into small pieces

They’re adhesive on the back side, so I pressed it onto the shirt

Then I set the opposite side against it

And then folded the shirt up against it and pressed down

And presto! A brand new onesie!

Then I just repeated the process for the rest of them

The Obama one is a lost cause though because we fastened the snap backwards and those rivets have a fucking death grip on the fabric

Oh well.

Ready for a Zoe fashion show?

Social statement Zoe

World Peace Zoe (the graphic is earth being held up by a little kid)

Self-promotion Zoe (or, actually, parent promotion as she’s wearing a onesie with our handyman biz name on the front and contact info on the back, bahahahahaha)

Rapper Zoe (a shirt from a show by the same artist who is featured on the CD of Zoe’s mobile)

And Local Love Zoe

Here’s her breakdancing pose

It’s nice to actually be able to use these onesies, especially now that she fits in them already.

Happy Friday!

    I love how serious she looks during her fashion show! Your onsies came out great; I just wish my Zoe was little enough again to wear some.

    I'm enjoying reading your blog, I love your house!!

    Cute! Maybe you can make the Obama onesie into a T-shirt.

    Thanks! And that is a GREAT idea Jessica! 🙂

Oh, hello there. We're Chris and Meryl and we're renovating home in Oakland, CA. Chris is the handy, knowledgeable builder and I'm his slightly inappropriate assistant. We've got 2 helpers - Zoe is 2 and Merritt arrived in June of 2015. Spurred by our love of renovating our own home we started a handyman, design and organizing business and now that we're both self employed we're busier than ever, but we love it!
