Pillowcase dress

After seeing this adorable idea of a pillowcase dress, I decided to try it out. I went to our second hand store and bought a stack of vintage designs for 25 cents per pillowcase. We washed and ironed them~ Next I googled instructions here. I have to say it was not hard at all. Look how adorable this one came out. They can be worn during any season. The winter I plan on adding a turtleneck along with long leggings, tights, or jeans. Cute Cute Cute.

What a precious little dress. I love that idea.

I just conquered my fear of sewing machines this weekend and pieced two huge quilt blocks together. I think I could try this, don't you?

I'll be posting about my sewing adventure today.

VERY cute. My good friend found the pillowcase dresses last year, and made one for her girl, and my youngest...they were adorable. You did a great job!

These are simply adorable! They would even make for a good smock to keep our kids from getting messy doing painting or other artwork.

Thank you for visiting my blog. The dress is adorable. If you quilt, you can reuse the material after she outgrows it.

Totally ingenious! I wish I can sew like you. That's one of the things I have yet to learn. Maybe they'll finally offer a sewing class in our area. Things like this make me miss home (Massachusetts) a lot!
