Sweater to toddler dress refashion

I had heard about people taking a sweater that they didn't want anymore and making a dress out of it.  I have been wanting to try something like this for a while.  I got a grey ribbed turtleneck sweater out of a bag of clothes my parents were getting rid of.  I knew I would never wear it, so I made it into a dress for my daughter.  I forgot to take a before picture of the sweater; it looked something like this:
Using this link as my guide (but mostly just winging it), I cut out and sewed up this little masterpiece!

With a little flower sewn on for added embellishment
And here it is on my little doll:
The dress is a little big for her right now, but should fit better come Fall, when it cools down a bit.
