Hey, you're watching with wendy and today. I'm going to show you how I make this onesie. It has a hood and it's footed
Weren't [these] ones that you just need [3] yards of fleece and obviously can go in any color you like I like with
pink and then if you want to add [le] and the lining and the ears in the face
you're gonna have to buy a bit more I had about one and [a] half yards of white Fleece and
then also some black fleece to make them eyes [I]
Base mine off of the kigurumi animal onesies that are really popular
[I'll] put a link down below if you [want] [to] go there and get some inspiration
[they] have this really cute, Rilakkuma bear and I decide to make [it] pink
but if you're into bunnies cats
Dragons all of those animals are on the kigurumi

We will get going with this onesie
Is that here are the pieces that you'll need to make the body of the onesie?
I'll put a link in the description with all of the dimensions that I use
But really you should just use your own clothing to size it to fit you there are however two
Mistakes that I made when I was cutting this out
So I'm going to highlight them now so that you don't make the same mistake one
Is that when it comes to the leg [I] would soften the curve a lot the second thing that I would fix is the sleeves
I made the slope of that sleeve way too steep and also. I made these sleeves way too short. Well, you should definitely
Lengthen these sleeves as well to fit your arms
start by folding the big back piece in half with the right sides touching and then sew a
Very thin seam along the folded Edge
this just helps to give the onesie a bit of a spine and look a bit nicer when you're done with the front piece of
The onesie you can separate it down the middle and then also cut the neckline to be a bit deeper since you need to make
Room for your neck then you can go ahead and add the white stomach along that straight edge
Lining it up so that it's about equidistance from the top and the bottom
To attach the stomach simply tuck in and pin about one centimeter of white fabric
Inwards [all] the way around the [U] and then sew it with a straight stitch
Once the outer curve is done
You can also secure it by sewing a straight stitch down the middle make sure you do this to both the left and the right
Sides of the front pin the two front pieces right sides together making sure that the whites of the stomach are lined up
Lay down a long zipper with the open end at the top and add one extra pin where the zipper ends
We're going to sew these two halves together using a straight stitch, but everything that's above [the] pin
you should use a very long stitch length since we're going to undo [it] later and
Everything below the pin use a smaller stitch length because that's four key
Lay open that seam that's on the inside of the front and pin down the zipper on both sides
Make sure your zipper is long enough to fit your entire body my zipper for the record was 22 inches so that should be pretty
Close to what you need using a straight stitch
We'll go down one side of the zipper square across the bottom and back up the other side
Now flip everything over so you're looking at the right side of the front we're going to use a seam ripper and gently tear apart
The stitch that was holding those two sides together
This is why I said [you] should use a long stitch length on that top half because it's going to make Seam ripping it much
Easier when you're done taking apart those stitches. You should be able to zip up and zip [down] with no problem now
we can pin the front and the back together along the shoulder edges with the right sides touching and
So those two in place with a straight stitch
Open up the front and the back pieces so that you're looking at the top of the shoulder
We're going to take our sleeve pieces
Ultimen half so that we can find the point of symmetry and then pin these all along the curve
Once you're done that you just sew a straight stitch all along the curve attaching the sleeve to the shoulders
This is where I tried it on and things look great, but then I realized oh my sleeve is way too short [so] [yes]
Don't make this mistake
Pin the onesy right sides together at the armpit and then sew all the way down the two sides of the onesie
Starting at the sleeve going all the way down the side of the body
pin together the center points of the front and the back with the right sides touching and now [sew] from
one leg to the other all along the inner like with some elastic you should cut two pieces that can fit around your
It and then to pieces that can flip around your elbow these are going to be the ankle and the wrist bands
using a Zig-Zag stitch
Attach the two ends together to make a loop
Wrap [the] ankle ones around the leg and then pin it add an even distance all the way around
[slow] it down with a zig-zag stitch
For the little feet pin it all the way around
Leaving open only the top where you put your foot in and sew it down with a straight stitch
Slip the foot inside of the leg with the right sides [facing] each other and pin it all the way around to the raw edge
You're going to sell these together with a straight stitch, but make sure that your foot is pointing in the right direction
Or [else] you're going to have to redo this
in the wrist band elastic evenly around the end of the sleeve and uses exact stitch to attach this I
Flipped the elastic inwards twice
And then sewed it down again with this exact stitch to hem off the edge and hide away the elastic band
The last step for the body is the tail we're going to pinch in for equidistance corners as if a circle really has corners
You know what I mean, and then sew them down with a straight stitch to make little triangles
And this is going to help it give a bit rounder of a shape
Mark the spot on the back where you'd like the tail to be and then fold the raw edge of the [tail]
Inwards about one centimeter and pin it [down] to the back of the onesie
Add a little bit of fluff to that tail just so you can help gauge
How far you need to pin the other end of the tail?
I bring it all the way over tuck under a centimeter
And then pin that also to the back of the onesie make sure you're not going through all the layers [just] the one back layer
You can go ahead and add pins all the way around now
But make [sure] you pull out the fluff before you add the final pin
Will [sew] with a straight stitch all the way around the tail?
But make sure you leave an opening in which you can add the fluff before sealing it off
Here's that opening that [I] was talking [about] I'm going to remove that last pin, and then shove in the fluff. That's remaining
Honestly in most pieces I've discovered with stuffing these things is that [you] should stuff more than you think is necessary
So just go ham on the stuffing
Until it's practically bursting and then that should be enough to seal it off
Sometimes if you put in too, little it ends up not really being as fluffy as you'd like to [ensure] total [comfy] cozy nests
We have to finish with [the] hood. So these are the four pieces that you're going [to] need in order to finish
I'll put a total description of the dimensions that are used in a blog post in the description for you
We'll start by attaching these two sides to the back piece going along the street Edge and then finishing off around the curve
Everything [that] I'm telling you to do with the pink fabric in order to assemble the hood needs to be repeated with the white fabric
as well
[I] cut off the excess back piece that was sticking out and then went head to
Pin the entire long piece all around the curved edge to add to the hood
Use a straight stitch [and] sew that long piece all along the [outside] of the hood
This is [a] piece that you're going to have to adjust a lot
depending on how deep you cut your collar so my collar was very shallow not very deep and
I had to adjust this piece a lot later on I had to cut it down to size
But if you decided to make your collar a lot deeper you won't have to adjust this piece as much
So I've left the dimensions to be enough leeway
Depending on [youth] for now the main goal is to sew it down in place
and we can cut it up and trim it to the right size later of
Course don't forget everything that you do with the outer layer
You'll need to do with the white Fabric which I'm going to use as a lining
These are the four pieces you'll need to make the face of the Rilakkuma bear I cut them out of black Fleece and the white
Fleece and then pin that to the pink fabric and spacing them out so that it looked normal
The white part of the face is actually very similar to how we attach the tail
So we're going to tuck in about a centimetre all the way around and pin it down
So all the way around leaving a gap
And then shove in the stuffing in order to finish if this looks kind of freaky to you wait till later
Here I am with that small gap that I left and I'm putting in some stuffing
This time you really don't have to go heavy on the stuffing because it's just the gentle facial feature
So you don't want it to be super poufy?
Once you're done to a certain [level] of stuffiness that you're happy then seal off that opening to finish
The eyes go on in the same way, but you don't need to add any stuffing and yes
This is the one that I thought was [always] scarier than when the white snout had all the pins the eyes the other stuff
That's remaining is to add glue onto the back of the little nose and mouth and then gently place that into the middle of this
Note the glue that I used I'll put a link in the description
It's apparently okay to go into the washing machine. So it should be good [enough] for you next
we will pin that white lining all the way along that front of the hood and then tuck the fabric under to sew all the
Way around I?
Trimmed up the back bottom edge of the hood to make sure it was nice and clean and then lined that up with the center
Of the back of the onesie and can that all along as well
here's where you'll notice if that front piece really gave you a lot of excess fabric at the collar if
It did all we're going to do is cut away the excess using a sloped line
Starting from the side of the face going down to the end of the hood at the end of the hood make sure you're leaving
about one inch so that there's enough fabric to tuck in and hem it properly and
Just cut with a gentle curve in order to make it back up to [the] face
You'll have to rehab the edge of the hood at this point, so I start at the face end
folded under twice
And then sew all the way down to the end of the hood where it needs the collar?
Now that the hood is the appropriate size and completely hemmed you can sew it with a straight stitch to the back of the onesie
Obviously, we would like Rilakkuma beard to hear everything that is being said so cut out for half moons and pink to half moons in
White and so those two pink ones right sides together along the curve again
If you're wondering about size check the link that's in the description, and I'll have the full dimensions for you
fold those pink half moons the other way and then add two little triangles along the front and along the back this just helps the
ear to have a bit more rounded of a shape
Tuck one centimetre down on the white half moon and pin that to the line of symmetry on the pink half moons then go all
The [way] around the two sides until you reach the straight edge
So this in place using a straight [stitch] and while you're sewing make sure you are only going through
one layer of the pink Fabric and not all of the layers
Next you'll stuff the ear and here. You can be super generous with stuffing again
If you're wondering why the background is changed the sewing machine is changed the stuffing color has changed. It's because this last bit
I filmed at my home to finish off the project and we only have eco stuffing at home
Which of course I guess is good for the [environment] so it's not so bad, but yeah
That's why everything changed
When you're happy with how the two little ears look and we can go ahead and pin it to the hood of the onesie to
Pin it to the hood of the onesie
I simply tuck under about a centimeter
And then pin that [to] only the outer layer of the onesie
Going all the way around and spacing it out. So that to me it looks cute
With a needle and thread [I] go through the hood layer
Then pierce through a little bit of the ear
And then go back through all those layers again and again and again all the way around until I'm back to where I started
only go through little bits of fabric so [that] this stitch is not too evident and
Just try to stay really close to the line that you've pinned along
Once the ear puffs up when you're done it usually will hide away all of those stitches
Finish off by tying two knots to that thread and you are done
Congratulations. That's a wrap on the onesie
I hope you all really enjoyed this project because it's super fun and you end up with something
That's so comfortable to slouch and lounge around in if you end up making this tutorial feel free to tag me on
