Make your baby a really cute-looking romper from an older child's T-shirt or tank top.
Just make sure the hem of the shirt hangs a few inches lower than the baby's diaper crotch.
Stitch 2"-3" of Velcro® loop (or 2"-3" of snap tape head
) on the inside of the hem, centre-front, and 2"-3" of Velcro® hook (or 2"-3" of snap tape holes
) on the outside of the hem, center-back.
If you find the neck opening a bit too big, just overlap the fabric at the back of the neck, and add a dot or square of Velcro® or one snap to hold it closed.
The extra bonus is there is room in this romper to fit over a cloth diaper, AND the legs cover the diaper nicely.
Then you just slip your new
baby romper onto your baby, and fasten at the crotch - how adorable!!
Thanks to Catherine for this Frugal Baby Tip!
