Pillowcase dresses

I was talking to my friend a couple weeks ago via facebook and she asked me if my girls had any pillowcase dresses. I had no idea what she was talking about. So she sent me an e-mail with a picture and I loved the idea. I simply googled "how to make a pillowcase dress" and watched a couple videos. I didn't have any pillowcases to spare and I couldn't find any sold separately, so I just went to walmart and let the girls pick out their own fabric. I added some trim to the bottom of the dresses with some leftovers I had. I've never made clothes before and I found these pretty simple to make. I think they are super cute and the girls LOVE them!


I've already started making ones for july 4th and I think I'll make matching hair bows as well :)
Happy Sewing!
