Pillowcase Dresses

This very talented mom was the inspiration for the simple "pillowcase" dress that Lillie is wearing below. I made it during her afternoon nap and she wore it around the house for the evening. What a darling little dress!

Jessica - they are basically a rectangle where the sides are sewn together up to about 6" from the top. The bottom and arm openings are hemmed and then you do a large hem on the top - about an inch or slighly more. Then you can take 7/8" ribbon and run it through the opening. Gather the ribbon to create a neck opening and tie the ribbons to keep it on! Easy peasy!

Seriously Christie - you're ridiculously awesome :) Lillie is such a lucky girl! Bella's lucky if I get all her clothes back on after changing her diaper! Ha!
