Next I take the skirt fabric, sew it into a tube (for a full skirt, twice the width of the onesie is more than enough, but you can play with the exact amount. Do a narrow hem on the top edge of the skirt fabric, and a hem (I like a ribbon hem!) on the bottom. Using a piece of narrow elastic-- sewn into a circle the same measurement as the onesie "waist", sew the skirt fabric to the elastic, about 1/4-1/2" from the narrow hemmed edge. Then simply stitch (as for knit fabric) the skirt onto the onesie! You want to be sure to stretch the elastic a little as you sew it onto the skirt or else the onesie wont be able to stretch around little tummies. That's sort of a dreadful description, but it is super simple in real life!
