Ranked #2,692 in Hobbies, Games & Toys, #27,141 overall
Welcome to the wonderful world of Pillowcase Dresses!
Do you love pillowcase dresses? I do! I love making my own pillowcase dresses and smock shirts for my daughter. They are so beautiful, perfect for summer, and you can make them from any fabric or pillowcase. They are just so easy to do and take 30 minutes or less to complete!
Best of all the only material you need is a pretty pillowcase, ribbon and some basic sewing know-how.
So if you love pillowcase dresses as much as I do, then this is the place for you!
For the EASIEST pillowcase dress patterns with instructions for sizes 6 months to 10 years, please drop by my Website, or my new Etsy Shop and eCrater Store

Tips to consider when making a pillowcase dress
What makes a GREAT pillowcase dress?
Attention to detail when sewing and choosing the perfect pillowcase or fabric is key. And ALWAYS remember to pre-wash your fabric or pillowcase before making it or you may end-up with a bad case of shrinkage after you've made it.I love simplicity. Finding a colorful print, just doing the basic sewing and adding beautiful ribbon ties is enough for me. Other people prefer to add on extra trim, bows and other accessories. I think that is great for parties and special occasions, but for every day wear you want to avoid too much "fluff".
Another thing to consider is the fact that kids get dirty! It's a fact of life, and having an all white or very pale fabric will show all kinds of stains and wear very quickly.
Sewing the ribbons together is also not a great idea. It makes it so you can't replace or adjust the ribbon if need be. And when it comes to ribbon, ALWAYS make sure to seal it properly to prevent fraying. There are several ways to do this like using a hot rod, lighter or special glues. Use what ever method you feel is best.
The other big thing is the pattern you use. You want one with a template for DIFFERENT SIZES. Who wants to get a pattern that only makes one specific size, and then leaves the rest of the sizing up to you to determine by guess work etc...? I certainly wouldn't want to have to deal with that. I mean, that's why you bought a pattern right, to cut out guess work?
I hope these tips have been helpful! I will try and add more in the future. And if anyone else has more tips, just let me know and I'll make sure they get posted.
