Ruffles and fabric flowers are popping up everywhere. And I needed a little something green for Olivia to wear to school on St. Patrick’s Day. I started fooling around and I got sort of carried away. But it’s okay because the other girls need green attire for their 10-minute preschool walk-thru in the morning. My favorite part of the project is the onesie makeover for Addie. When a white onesie has made it’s way through two older sisters, it needs a bit more than Biz and Bleach. I tried ruffles to spruce it up and I love the result. Talk about dingy to darling! Want to make one? Here’s how I did it:

I love the frayed edges. You could go to the trouble of turning your edges or using a non-fraying material if you’re not feeling it, but this was so quick to do and it works for me.
