A dress for Pen

I don't credit myself with being much of a re-purposer. However, I've had this skirt for a few years now and haven't worn it in at least a year, even though I love it. It just looks weird on. I figured it wouldn't be too hard to make it into a little dress for Pen, and guess what, it was pretty easy. Oh and sorry about the picture quality, I didn't feel like getting out the good camera. Kinda lazy...
Skirt I love but haven't worn in over a year.
Oshkosh onesie for $1.95 from Kidz Again.
Before
 For anyone who's interested who may have the exact similar skirt this is what I did. I took the bottom 3 inches or so off the skirt. Then I cut a section out of the skirt so it would fit (kind of snug) around the lady.Then I sewed the onesie inside. I cut off the bottom of the onesie. So after the elastic part around her tummy, everything below that no longer is onesie. I don't know if any of that made sense but there you have it.
After

She looks like a tiny rag muffin in these pictures. It was after a long day at church and she was tired and hungry. But I wish I looked this good as a tiny rag muffin after a long day at church when I'm tired and hungry.
