This was my first attempt at sewing one of these super cute dresses. I have been seeing them everywhere and love them. So, finally I got the time to try it out for myself. I have to say, I was such a great sewing project, so easy and fast. I love things I can sew in just minutes.
I didn't use a pillowcase (I sadly don't own any cute ones that I want to cut up) so I used some extra fabric I had in my stack. Cute, girly, and pink... what more could she ask for. I think this would have been amazingly fast if I had the pillowcase, but easy regardless. I used a pillowcase to measure her, folded it where it was too long and too wide. Once I had the proper measurment I used the folded pillowcase to cute a piece of fabric. Sewed it up on the sides and bottom, and voila- a Em sized pillowcase.
So for the top, I cut out arm holes by using a template from Everythingsewing.net which was a print and use thing. So using that I cut areas for the arms and finished the rest of the hems. Then after adding ribbon into the top, I was finished!
I even made a matching bow to finish the whole thing off. What a great project!
