Thanks for the link, with my new sewing machine I am for sure going to try these. I have some pillowcases that we don't use so, good for a test run soon!

I have some material I'd like to use - haven't I seen a tutorial somewhere out there for making a pillowcase dress without starting with a pillowcase? would you just make a pillowcase and then go? I'm not the seamstress - that would be my mother. I just have the ideas - and finally a little girl. She isn't very girly, but I sure am trying! :P

I hope someone knows the answer, because I am in the same boat--lots of cute fabric, but not pillowcases. I might try finding the one I had found at one time (but forgot to bookmark!!!).

My sister in law gave me a few pix to post of my niece wearing a couple of the dresses I made for her.
The blue dress, I bought the material at walmart and just sewed ribbon to it.It came smocked (if thats what that is called).
The other two I made as well as the flops and bow.
