a machine washable, lightweight jumper with a hole in the front (promise)
some clothes to use as a template
use folds and ribbing in original garment where they are useful in the new one
pick a contrast rib for the envelope neck and attach (v. fiddly)
sew pieces together
make tassels for hat
and dress the poor baby
UPDATE The hat was too small (might explain the slightly pained 'I think I might cry' smile in the above photo) and the neck was very loose and untidy. I replaced it with another stretchier piece of ribbing and cut it about half the size of the neck and sewed it while stretching (still fiddly). I also cut the neck a bit lower in the middle. So partial success. I still think it's a nice basic shape for future clothes - will try again!

(Thinking about it, I should've read this again before I started - would've saved a lot of time!)
