Pretty and pink

Once upon a time, I found a lovely pretty pink tunic shirt for the Neatnik. It had very pretty embroidery on the front and a crocheted edge at the hem and it was on sale.

Well, that once upon a time was a long time ago in a mall not so far away.

Neatnik has grown a fair amount since that long ago purchase and the shirt really doesn't fit her properly anymore. There is a funny thing about my Neatnik: while she does not like getting new clothes that are tight or form-fitting, she will wear an old, beloved shirt until the hem tries to creep above her cute little belly button unless I intervene.

Behold this morning's intervention.

Wouldn't you want your sandwich

Pretty shirt hem
Yep, I preserved the pretty crocheted edging

AWWWW! The cuteness gauge just jumped into the red zone. What a clever recycling project!
