Whether you're stitching for a new grandbaby, gifting for a shower, or just in the mood to sew something that makes people say “aww,” this Kimono-Inspired Baby Onesie is an absolute gem.

🎀 Wrap Style with Tie Closure – Inspired by traditional kimono construction, this design is gentle on baby and easy to dress.
👶 Bias-Bound for Soft Seams – If you’ve ever made quilt binding, this will feel like second nature.
🧷 Snap Bottom Access – Makes diaper changes a breeze.
👗 Fits Preemie to 9 Months – And it looks just as good in solid pastels as it does in fun novelty prints!

But here’s what really makes this project shine…

🌿 THE FABRIC.
Originally made with Cloud 9 Organic Cotton Jersey (yes, the buttery soft one), we were devastated to learn it was discontinued… until we tracked down a few yards on Etsy!

It’s breathable, soft beyond explanation, and elevates the onesie from “homemade” to “heirloom.”
