Pillowcase Dress



I had been wanting to make a pillowcase dress so I used Christmas as the opportunity. I made this dress to fit an 18 mo old. Fabric from Hobby Lobby. I loved the play of browns and salmon pinks and knew I had to use it for something special.


The most challenging part of this project was making my own bias tape for the armholes.  Otherwise the rest I knew pretty well.


The concept of the pillowcase is not hard, but I found some good pointers and specific measurements (for 18 mo) here: http://www.sewingmamas.com/b/downloads.php?do=file&id=17


Unfortunately this is the only picture I have of the dress finished.  :(
