Pillowcase dress

I finally got around to some sewing and made my daughter a pillowcase dress. It is called that because a lot of people make them out of an actual pillowcase, but I haven't seen any with cute prints, so I stick to the fabric. It was so easy and I think it took me about an hour to cut, pin and sew. I had a yard of fabric and I have enough left to make her a skirt or purse out of it.

Then I made a matching bow for her hair that can clip onto a headband like in the picture or just in her hair.

Here is the link I used to make the dress: http://www.maubys.net/2010/06/fat-quarter-fun-pre-toddlertoddler.html This website has some cute stuff that is pretty easy to make.

I think it turned out pretty cute and I can't wait for her to wear it. The nice thing about a pillowcase dress is that when it gets too short, you can throw some leggings under it. So this should be in her closet for a while!

The white ribbon is my favorite ribbon. I have been able to find it in various colors and in two different sizes. I think I have bought everyone I have found.

I picked my vinyl!!!

So I picked out some cute vinyl from Staker Sensation. Shannon even customized the vinyl I ordered so it would be the perfect size for my space. She was so sweet and fun to work with. I am so lucky to have been chosen for the giveaway.

Thank you Shannon and Staker Sensation. I put her link on the sidebar so check out her store, she has some really cute stuff at AWESOME prices. She is quick to answer your questions and return emails.

Stay tuned for pictures when I get my new vinyl....
