I thought this would be perfect. A nice soft knit, quite light, loose weave. I thought (with my limited felting knowledge) that this wouldn't felt up too tightly, being a loose knit. As it was also obviously handmade I had no idea of fibre content, so I was flying blind. Maybe not a good idea.
I'm sure it would make a great re-fashion statement for a 6 month old, what do you think?
Please excuse the disgusting mess on my carpet in that top photo. I'm in tidy mode in my craft room this week, the results of which I hope to reveal in Thursdays creative space.

Oh, that is funny and cute! You can still rescue it, though... instead of pleating etc (a la the clever Gina) you can add to it... insert a panel here and there + it'll be fabulous! Good luck. K
Why don't you make a purse out of it? I posted a couple on my blog that I did from old felted sweaters. Look under the "sewing" label. Don't worry, you'll think of something.
Would it be wrong of me to laugh out loud?
I would have never expected it to shrink that much...hee hee
Oh, that is the cutest lil jumper I ever did see! Having a good belly laugh. I really was very lucky with my felting effort, I must confess. I think the tighter the weave the LESS it shrinks actually, because there's already less space between fibres. But actually that's an uneducated guess. So... howsabout a nice midriff number? LOL!!!
