I made these onesies years ago (way before I started blogging) for Avery. It was a great way to reuse my husband's "dam" shirt, that he could no longer fit (see image below to get the joke). It took me a while to find the original tutorial that I used but I this is it:

http://knitnatak.blogspot.com/2012/01/t-shirt-onesie-tutorial.html I like this one because it uses the original tshirt collar. The first tutorial has you sew cut out the original collar and hem it with a zig zag stitch, which I found to be rather challenging. If you use the first tutorial again I would put bias tape on the colar to make it look more finished.

Alexis's dam shirt now. |

This is another one of my husbands shirts that he wore back in his youth. |

The gown is getting on the short side for Alexis, maybe I'll cut it shorter and make it into a baby t. |
