YT Addict | Onesies as PJ's? I know some people here on YT use baby onesies for there fur babies. I love the design of so many baby onesies, especially the Christmas and other holiday ones. So, I was wondering hoe do you convert a baby onesie into a doggy PJ bottom/top? Either the short sleeved onesie, the long top sleeved onesie, or the pajama one's with long legs too. (Haha, I don't really know how to put that in a sentence!) I would prefer the just short-sleeved and long-sleeved onesies though. I have used and have a sewing machine if it requires it I can use it even though I'm not very good at it! Can anybody help me with my dilemma? I don't have a Yorkie baby so I don't really know what size or anything if that matters, but I did find something in my house that leads me to think I might be getting a Yorkie baby!!

| I've done it! Depending on the size of the dog, you have to get the right sized onesie (or it's a pain in the butt). Kaji is 12 inches long, and about 13 inches around his chest (if I remember right) so he uses a premie sized onesie. I cut off the bottom, sew it up, and put 2 tiny stitches around the neck area so Kaji doesn't stretch it out. (he's a crazy sleeper and has woken up half naked before. That's it, you have a converted onesie!

It's less problematic if you have a little girl.

| For ours we use the whole thing and love the ones with the little "bum flap". We cut off the flap and also cut open a place for his wee-wee. He loves them. |

YT Addict | Do you sew it, or just leave a raw edge?

| I use onsies all the time but i take them apart i like the top part to hit right before his tail and the underpart short so he cant winkie on it. Cooper is about 4 pounds and i usually buy the 6 to 9 month ones. I have a pattern i made out of a shirt that fits him, I try to buy the onsies that have saying or pattern on them that i like and i use them, I make arm holes but no sleeves.

| i take them apart and make arm holes and the underside, i have found that 6 9 month work best for me to work with, cooper is not that big but he is long abou 10 inches from neck to base of his tail. clothes in the store are way 2 short for him, and i hate the half shirt look. i also like onsies that are cute and i always find them on sale. |
