I've been dissecting onsies for the past month. I don´t know why they put the snaps in. I hate the snaps. We have always used cloth diapers on our kids and we never used the snaps or if we did our babies ended up having wedgies because the onsie pulled so tight against the diaper.
I've also been cutting off the sleeves of the numerous long sleeved Alpine onsies we seem to have a stockpile of and turning them into Little Mexican short sleeved versions. It´s so hot here that I am even cutting some sleeveless versions.
Be careful when chopping off your babie's onsies. Make sure they are long enough to handle the chopping. Sometimes it doesn't work out because the onsie is manufactured too short in the torso and is unchoppable. In our case I just stash it in the rag bag for other projects. No big loss. This onsie was unfortuantely one of those short ones. Oops.

You are so right! They do make the onesies too short! Especially the ones that have been washed a billion times.
The nice thing is that if you use the snaps (I did, but never all three--too much work) the shirt stays down. Otherwise it would ride up.
I guess if you leave it long and tuck it in, it wouldn't ride up though, would it?
Do you hem them after you cut them? I am wondering because Carrien had a good suggestion on my blog to cut Jack's pants off at the knee when they get holes in them. I'd probably have to hem them though, wouldn't I?
Oh yeah I should add that I hemmed them everywhere. If you dont hem them they look áwful.
As for the onsie riding up I always had the kids either buried in winter things so no problem because you can´t even find the onsie under all those layers or like here it´s hot so it doesn´t matter if it rides up a little.
Hemmimg is pretty fast nce you sit yourself down to it at the machine. I just set a goal to do one a night and it just takes 5 minutes.
