So last week I took action. I cut off the top, leaving about two inches of the knit fabric. I sewed it to the inside to make a casing, threaded in some 1/2" elastic and voila! A skirt that will get at least another year or two of wear!

A dress becomes a skirt
This adorable t-shirt dress was a gift to Lizzie when she was about a year and a half old. It includes some of my favorite-ever fabrics, and she has worn it way beyond what's reasonable- it had basically become a mini dress when I decided something needed to be done.

I'm adding this to Fabric Tuesday over at Quilt Story!
