craft project - how to make A fashion doll Dress out of baby Socks

Since I am a 'green' grandmother, I have been re-purposing those socks into new items that she can play with. One of the things I came up with is this cute dress that be used with 11 1/2" fashion dolls. Here is how you can make one too but it does require a little bit of crocheting.
To Make The 1 piece Fashion Doll Dress: These are the classic stretch knit ones. I cut the heal andection off so that the tube remaining measures 4 3/4" long. The top opening of the sock will be the top of the dress, the raw edge (the cut edge) will be the bottom. You will want to fold under 1/8" of the raw edge so that its hidden inside the dress. Using bedspread weight cotton and a size 4 crochet hook.
Picot Trim: Attach by single crocheting, chain 2, single crochet in second chain from hook, insert hook through both layers about 1/8" away from your last stitch and single crochet, chain 2, single crochet in second chain from hook, insert hook through both layers about 1/8" away from your last stitch...go around the entire bottom edge of the dress in this manner and then finish up by slant stitching in your first single crochet, fasten off and weave in your ends.
To Make The 2 Piece Fashion Doll Dress: You will need to use 2 baby knit socks to make this outfit.
To Make The Top: It now measures 2 3/4: long. The opening will be the top of the shirt and the portion of the sock that you cut off will be the bottom. Using some sewing thread and a needle, fold 1/8" of the cut edge up and on the inside so that the raw edge is underneath your top. Use 2-4 stitches just to tack it up (these will be removed later).
Now you want to do the edging which is: chain 2, single crochet in second stitch from your hook, poke your crochet needle through both layers about 1/8" away from your first single crochet and single crochet in that spot, chain 2, single crochet in second chain from hook, poke your crochet needle through both layers 1/8" away from your previous single crochet and keep going around the circumference of your sock. Once around, join with a slant stitch in first single crochet, Fasten off and weave in ends.
