- Fitted Sheet- you can find some awesome ones at the thrift store! Or…fabric and elastic
- Bias Tape
- Piping {optional}
- Ric Rac
- Fabric for embellishing
2. ***My top had an incident and I ended up changing it at the end. If you want a row of piping like mine has just cut your bodice off about 1.5″ down from the top. Gather the top piece and the bottom piece to just a bit bigger than your kiddo’s chest circumference and then sew back together with the piping in between.
With right sides together {RST} sew up the bodice sides and the inseam of your shorts.
3. Slide the short legs inside each other with RST and sew up the crotch seam.
5. Gather the bottom of each leg and sew a piece of bias tape along the half circle cut out.
6. Sew a piece of bias tape along the bottom of each leg leaving a long enough tail to tie in a bow.
7. To finish off your top sew on some ric rac stems by sewing right down the middle. Then zig zag stitch around your flowers.
8. Add bias tape to the bottom and sew on some straps or ribbon at the top. To make my straps I just took a long length of fabric, folded it in half with RST and sewed up the long edge, turned it right side out, tucked in the raw edges and then sewed around all of the edges to help it lay flat.
