Sewing a Onesie
Deutsch
The ONESIE is a comfortable overall, often made of sweat fabric, fleece or plush. The idea of this unisex overalls originates from the Norwegian clothing company One Piece. The Onesie was first marketed as pajamas for adults, but advanced by celebrities such as Ellie Goulding, Cara Delevingne or Katy Perry to a funny fashion hype. Onesies (playsuits) in animal design are particularly popular for children’s clothing.
