transformation

I tackled my first sewing project outside of class tonight. I took the sweater on the right and turned it into... this!
I've been searching around for practical sewing ideas and found a tutorial online for turning old sweaters into toddler sweater dresses so I decided to give it a try. The arms are a little shorter than planned due to a mistake but I'm hoping it will still qualify for 3/4 length. Madeleine's sleeping right now so I don't actually know if it fits but fortunately I know quite a few little girls smaller than Madeleine who might want it if Mads is too large. It took me way longer than it hopefully will next time but it was a fun way to spend my Saturday night. I'll see if Madeleine can model it for you tomorrow.
