Mama to Daughter: Sweater Refashion

My friend gave me this purple sweater that she didn't use anymore,

so I saved it for some future project down the road--

It matches this cute owl fabric

(that I was also saving for some future project)

Perfect!

I used a shirt for my guide that miss G currently wears

and cut out the front pieces from the existing sweater:

Then copied the front piece to cut out the back piece

for the new sweater:

I also used the shirt as a guide for the new smaller sleeve:

But I kept the original sweater sleeve edge 

so I wouldn't have to refinish the edge.

Then I sewed the sweater together;

shoulder seams first, added the sleeves,

and then did the side seams.

All the edges were already finished

because I used the previous sweaters edges.

miss G likes this picture the best 

because her hair "goes to the side like a princess":
