Altering an Infant's Hooded Pram Suit to a Toddler Jacket AND Booties

We had purchased a Infant Hooded Pram Suit for my daughter during last winter. I just loved the material. It is such a thick cozy fleece that it really keeps her warm but now she has grown bigger and cannot fit into that. But I really hated to waste this wonderful outerwear so I decided to make some alterations. Hence, this project of Altering an Infant's Hooded Pram Suit to a Toddler Jacket AND Booties

Convert an Infant's Hooded Pram Suit to a Toddler Jacket

  • Cut off the legs of the suit with a scissor.
  • Place the zip so that the zip fits into the zip case
  • Stitch the bottom most portion of the zip with a needle and thread so that the zip does not slip off.
  • Fold the extreme bottom to about half an inch and hem them with a needle and thread.

  • Fold it further if you wish to reduce the height of the jacket. I kept it as it is. It comes upto knee length for my daughter and looks just awesome.

The jacket is ready for use.

Convert Leg Portion of the One Piece Suit to Boots/booties.

  • Fold the top part of the cut bootie and hem it so it gives a smooth finish.
  • Use decoratives like silver beads and hand stitch it.
  • Put a thick smooth thread in the top rim so we can tighten the booties when required.

Enjoy!
