PIllowcase Dress + link to tutorial

With the new arrival of my niece, I have been thrown into baby mode. Basically, I have been looking up more tutorials I average.

Yes. I already have an addiction. This has just made it about 1000 times worse. Thanks Casey and Brooke for popping out a girl, and not the boy as promised. Now I spend even MORE time on Pinterest and trolling the net for cute girl stuff to make. Thanks Chaney Reese. Its all your fault (But i love you anyways!!!)

So here's the dress I made tonight. It took me about 1.5 hours. Basically because it was my first time doing this pattern. And I am not used to following patterns. I actually enjoy using patterns from people , rather then the ones from the stores. I hate the tissue paper crap. I need to start getting some heavy duty paper to make my own patterns from those tissue patterns.

But that requires me to sit still for awhile and trace. Ick.

Anyways here's my 6 month old pillowcase dress. I went with the smallest size to allow me to see how difficult it was going to be. Loved the way it came out.


This used 1/2 yard of fabric i had laying in my stash. And i didnt even use it all. I also used some ribbon i had laying around. Voila!

This is the Tutorial. I followed it step by step. It made a world of difference ironing the fabric each step. The only step I do not like is the one where you sew the arms together its not very clear. And i didnt like the way I had to hem the bottom. Because it does not open up as stated once you sew up the arm holes. Id try sewing up the hem first and then the sides. I think it will make it cleaner and easier.
