Project Girlification - Part 1

We have a lot of baby clothes. I would even say that we have a plethora of baby clothes. After the boys were born I was convinced that we were going to have another set of twins and would rue the day we got rid of any of our doubles of baby things. The number of onsies is pretty ridiculous.


But as you can see from this lovely picture of our little one, my preparations were for naught.

So, we haven't bought too many clothes for this baby girl, because we do have so, so many. I separated out the gender neutral things and now I'm trying to girly up some of the other things. We started by dyeing a batch of blue clothes purple.


Before: Blue Clothes


After: Very purple clothes

I wish I hadn't left them in for so long, but my experience with dyeing in the past has always been to leave them in longer for better color. But, sadly, not this time. I still like the deep purple, it's just a little intense.

I did a second batch, and these spent much less time in the dye. I prefer these. Especially the striped purple onsie on the right. It's awesome.



Below is one of the boy's little jumper. The color is neutral enough, but the blue airplane seemed pretty boyish.



So, I covered it up with a red felt heart. I really, really like it, despite my less than stellar ability to sew straight lines.



The boys have requested that we do a pink batch next. I'm also going to make some little skirts to go over onsies. Dressing girls is a lot of fun, by the way.
