This guide is designed so that you have a rough idea of what clothing can be used as well as how many items you will need to gather together to have a Onesie Friend made.
I find the best items to work with are stretch and grows, onesies, blankets, cotton and fleece items as well as many others. The only clothing that is difficult to work with are hand knitted items as the weave of them is very delicate so they need to be treated carefully to be made into a Onesie Friend.

Sizing of my Onesie Friends can vary a little bit due to the hand made nature of them. They are backed to help with stability and shape. This allows for materials with different stretch to be used to make your keepsake.
