Sweatshirt refashion!

I had bought a few sweatshirts for my daughter last year when they were on sale ..problem now is, she wants to wear only dresses with leggings. A quick search in the land of pink and purple aka her closet yielded a pair of purple sweatpants she has outgrown.

and they are an exact match for the purple on the flower!

 The pants and they were big enough to cut up and add a skirt to the sweatshirt.

Gathered the top of the skirt so the width aligns with the width of the shirt
 

I didn't want to lose the original hem of the sweatshirt and if I attached the skirt in the normal way, it would be very bulky. I decided to have an overlap instead. I ended up topstitching the skirt, after a few frustrated dates with the seam ripper trying to pin it and do it on the wrong side. It just didn't look clean.
