This the second in a three part series showing how I upcycled an old Onesie into three new garments.

The first post showed how to make a pair of tracksuit (jogging) bottoms and this one shows how to make the matching Hoodie.

I had previously emancipated the top part of the onesie from its lower body and was left with this: –

The centre front zip was cut out next…..

….and a new centre front seam was made by sewing right sides together and overlocking the raw edges.

Both sleeves were shortened by a couple of inches, overlocked and then hemmed leaving a small gap through which to thread the elastic.

The bottom of the hoodie was overlocked and hemmed in the same way, leaving a gap for the elastic.

Having measured loosely around wrists and hips, pieces of elastic were threaded through each of the channels and secured together by hand.

Finished!

A cute hoodie to match the tracksuit bottoms.

Not the most appreciative smile in the world….

That’s better!

So, that’s how to make a great little hoodie from an old onesie.
