PILLOWCASE DRESS


If you want a fast and easy dress that works both in the winter and summer or even wear it with a little shirt and legging's then this is the cutest one to create. You can add appliques, pockets, bows, and trim to create several different styles. 

The white trim on this is actual bedding border trim that my mother In-Law had in her wonderful stash of fabric that was passed onto me. 

This set is for a dear friend of mine for her two little girls. There are several sites with patterns even free ones that you can find on the web. Just do a search for pillowcase dresses and several will come up. Be creative and make your own styles. 

I also make these to send to "Little Dresses for Africa" 

Below are several that I made for Africa.


Brown's, pink's and creams are a perfect combination. 


This one is my Mini Mouse style. Wouldn't a little girl visiting Disney be dressed just perfect.


Love these two fabrics together.


Little bugs print and mint green polka dots


"AHOY"  off to a day at the sea with this adorable one. 


I love the main body fabric as you can make several styles with many different colored fabrics


Can you say ADORABLE!!
