The Humble Beginnings

My work with transforming clothes into other useful things began when I was pregnant and had no money 17 years ago. I needed baby clothes and happened to have several a-line dresses made of a soft jersey material, perfect and cozy for the baby. I had no sewing machine and only a needle and thread. I drew the pattern around the baby on the inside of a piece of Christmas wrapping paper. and let my imagination do the rest.

You have to fold the pattern in half to make sure both sides will be identical. Then cut out two pieces of material and sew them together where they should be sewn together.

One must consider that changing the baby's diaper will be involved, so you have the option of using snaps around the inside of the inner legs. You can have an opening with strings in the back. This is the primitive first post of the ragga-morphological beginnings.
