It’s official. I’m in love with these pillowcase dresses. I’m not ready to try anything more complicated, but these dresses are so easy, I could make a dozen of them. And as a side benefit, they are hard to outgrow! As Elise gets taller, she can wear it as a long shirt.
I found this cute navy, pink and red floral fabric on clearance for $3/yard at Jo-Ann. I loved the color pallette and the price was awesome.
After my first pillowcase dress, I needed to figure out a way to make the ties part of the dress so they wouldn’t come loose in the wash.
My time is improving; this one took me less than two hours, start to finish. I used the first dress as a pattern and that sped up the cutting. I also think doing the straps / arm holes like shown above was a lot simpler than sewing a pocket and threading the straps through. (Not that that way is hard; this was just easier and quicker overall.)
