Shirt Refashioned

My first attempt at refashioning a shirt. Actually it is more of a light sweater. Its been sitting in my closet never seeing the light of day, but it never fit me right, so there it sat, in the dark and alone :(

This morning, I asked Audrey if I should make it into a dress for her. She responded with a resoundig "YES! and I want to wear it to school today!!"
great...

so, I tried.....

here's the before picture....

A boring, lifeless sweater.....

So, I cut and sewed and cut and sewed then I measured...and cut and sewed. Lesson learned...

but, I got it done before school!

She picked the tights out that she swears that they match....I think it would look better with a belt- but she would have none of it. Her dress, her style, I guess..

Anyway, it wasn't that bad. It was pretty easy, I just kept allowing for extra, which kept making it too big.

All and in all, she loves it - I'm happy. The sweater is happy..
