I was cleaning out my closet yesterday and I stumbled upon a halter I bought to give to our niece ages ago. It's so pretty and gauzy. I'd wear it if I were skinny but I'm not skinny. Anyway, it struck me how similar it was to a pillowcase dress. On a whim, I tried it on Zoe and the only alteration needed is hemming up the armholes. I pinned them for the picture but Mom is going to help me with her "new" 1948 sewing machine. She's never been able to sew on a machine either but she has been whipping things out right and left since inheriting this particular machine from Crazy Aunt Shirley.
I hope it turns out. Paired with a little sweater, it will make such a pretty Easter dress for her!

I LOVE them, SUPER cute, and just in time for summer!
Very cute, and you know how I love green.
I think she's going to look marvelous. I might have some vintage pillowcases to send over. I'll look.
You mean they're REAL? Until this moment the only place I'd heard of a pillowcase dress was in Harry Potter. Does this mean that Dobby the House elf is actually a cross dresser? I suspected as much.
Rachael- I wish I had a bed sheet dress. Oh my. Now, that's an idea...
Mel- You notice how I didn't give this one to you? Yeah, that's because I'm stingy. I like the word stingy, by the way. I wish it didn't have such a negative connatation.
P-smudge- It really is beautiful. And it had three little square green stones there at the neckline. Very Emerald City.
Miss Smith - Oh yes...Can you imagine what this little dress could've done for his lovely, boney frame?
That's okay. Gauzy and frilly really isn't my style. The one you gave me is much more my speed.
brilliant brilliant brilliant!!!
I have been looking for a blouse pattern that's easy to make!!!
Oh. My. Gosh.
This just made my day!
Of course ... I'm going to need some really BIG pillows. true. The sheet idea has merit!
