This sweater vest was a hand-me-down from a friend. She gave me a bunch of sweaters for crafting. I was going to make this into another sweater pillow, but I'm really trying to add more color in my decor, so I decided it needed to become back-to-school clothes for Penelope. She already has a sweater dress I that I thrifted some time ago, so I used that as a template. Just by taking in the sides and the neck at the V, I had a new dress for Penelope. I think the jury is still out on if the dress is liked or not. She says it's scratchy, but I don't think so. It's a cotton wool blend, so it shouldn't be. But she does have extra sensitive skin, though.
