Sweater Refashion into a Dress for the Goose Part 1 (63:365)

I saw people doing these all over the internet and decided to try it out. Taking ideas from many places, I'm working with a sweater that didn't have the exact kind of neck or
length that I needed for a baby dress. 

So, I've been having some technical difficulties, as usual,
and the dress is NOT complete. 

Here are the steps I've completed so far.

Problem #1: The bottom edges were a bit pointy, 

so I cut and sewed them straighter.

Problem #2: The neck hole is too small.

I think I've worked a solution, although it is not pretty.

I'll post it tomorrow.

Problem #3: Figuring out the sleeves. 

I want them to be caps that are a little puffy. 

We'll see how that goes!

P.S. The Goose = Lucy (we call her Lucy Goose)
