Another baby bodysuit DIY - French vintage inspired baby onesie makover

This is also a super easy DIY for updating a regular baby bodysuit.

The only difficult part is possibly crocheting a heart shape but there are plenty of tutorials out there on the web to learn from. I've posted the link to one with a video tutorial at the bottom of this post, I find the video tutorials the easiest to learn from. You can be a complete novice and crochet something pretty decent following video tutorials.
I didn't do that however. I learnt to crochet a granny square a few weeks ago, resulting in this blanket.
So for the heart what I did was start crocheting a granny square and I just sort of winged it halfway through and did what I thought was gonna turn into a heart ...and it did, a pretty good one too I must say although crochet experts out there probably wont agree with me.
My backup plan was that a granny square on the bodysuit chest placed to form a diamond would also be ok so I just went for it and somehow it all worked out.

  1. So cute! What a change you made to that little onesie. I have a big stack of crocheted hearts that I did recently too, they're fun to make! I like how yours is granny style.
