Sitting here missing my husband so much. While he is off building houses in Guatamala. So I am trying to make sure that I fill up all my time so that I will not have time to think about how much I am missing him or how much I wish that I was there. Yesterday I filled my time by going to the post office and getting my tires changed and now I will share this project with you...
This is a pillow case dress. I literally took a pillowcase and cut off the closed end. Once the end was cut off I cut up the sides to make it less boxy looking and a little more A lined and re-sewed the sides. I used a tank top of my daughters to get the arm holes right and just trimmed them up to match. Then I folded all the raw edges over and hemmed them. I took the top front and top back and made a half inch casing so that I could put a tie through it. I also took a strip of t-shirt material and made a long stitch through it and gathered it up to make a ruffle and sewed it to the front of the dress.
I just love this idea. It is such a beautiful pillow case with such beautiful embroidery on the front. There are so many beautiful vintage pillow cases that could be made into something great like little girls dresses.
