How I Became Shared Jelly

When my husband and I first got married we used to get messages on our answering machine for "Shared" and "Jelly" instead of Jared and Shelly. The first time we chuckled a little over it and by the fourth or fifth time, we decided the name should stick somewhere. And so, I've been sharing jelly all over the internet since. Enjoy!

Flower Onesie

I've really enjoyed taking old clothes and remaking them into something into something new. Along that same line, I took a regular plain white onesie and turned it into something more fun for my baby girl.
I cut 6 blue circles with a 3 1/2 inch diameter, four pink circles 3 inches in diameter and found a button to match.

Start by folding your blue circles into sixths (in half, then in thirds-it's easier than it sounds).  Pin them onto the onesie where you want.  Then sew around the middle edges as so:

As you can see, it doesn't need to be straight or even match because you will not see the stitching.
Then you take the pink circles and fold them in quarters (in half twice).  Pin and sew them on top.

Again, the sewing is no biggie since you are covering this with a button.  Speaking of which, you sew your button on top and you are done.  As time goes by and when you wash, the edges will fray a little, but it's still cute. Here is after the wash:

Still love it. Adds a little bit of sass.  Great idea for a baby shower gift, too.
