Pillowcases Aren't Just for Pillows Anymore....

I have enjoyed making several of these dresses for different people lately. They are so easy, and I think they turn out so cute! I am sorry to say that I don't have a "pattern" persay - just Google "pillowcase dress pattern" online and you'll get a ton! Mine is actually a combination of several different patterns. This one pictured here was made for a friend's niece, Bella. I thought it turned out really cute!!! I added ribbon and a decorative border to the bottom of this one because it was a little bit more plain to begin with. I think it added just the right touch!!!
Like I said, they are super easy - if you can sew a straight line, you can make it, too. There is a lady at church with a monogramming machine who helps me out with that part and she does a GREAT job! (Plus, she only charges me $2.50!!!!!) One of these days, I would love to have my own monogramming machine, but I don't know if I'd even know how to work the thing!
So, until then, I'll keep saving my quarters to pay her and keep my eye out for cute pillowcases to turn into dresses! It's just cheaper that way....:)

These are WAY too cute! If I had any girls I'd keep you in business. I think my boys would protest if I tried to dress them in these. =)

You should totally make and sell these. I just checked a couple of sites online and they are selling for $28-$40 each, easy.
