These onesies I leave the legs on. It keeps Bambi nice and toastie in the winter. I've made quite a few of these for my Bambi. She starts with a Newborn size onesie with feet. She's about 8 inches long and 4 lbs. I found that the fleece ones fit her better but for this step by step I used a cotton onesie. The cotton onesies seem to have too much fabric in the trso that may need some modifying or perhaps a belt with a bow! Anyway, here goes...

I start with a newborn size pajamas with the legs and feet. I use the ones with the snaps. I have no tried one with a zipper, I'm sure there's a way though.

Unsnap all snaps. First thing I do is cut the little feet off, I tried to keep them on bc they're so darn cute. It's best to cut them off though so they don't get caught on your babies feet. I leave as much fabric on the foot as possible so it's easier to level off the hem.
