Saturday night I took my sister to JoAnn’s to find some fabric for some curtains she wants made. I thought I was doing a really great job of not picking up any extras, but we stayed in the store just a little bit too long. I ended up picking up a couple of fabric quarters, some ribbon, and bias tape to make Evie another little pillowcase dress. The quarters were just the right size to make her a dress and a matching headband.
This dress is a little bit longer than the Halloween dresses. I’m hoping Evie can wear it at least through the next Spring and maybe even Summer. I love the fabric (if you look closely a few of the flowers have aqua colored centers) and I think the bias tape around the arm holes and the bottom really gives it a finished look. I also made the headband a little differently this time and I think I like it better than the other ones.
What do you think? I would love to see more pictures of pillowcase dresses if anyone else has made any. These are so simple and I have lots of ideas for little embellishments!
If anyone is still wanting to purchase a Halloween tote bag please get your order in now! Orders must be in by 5:00 p.m. Friday to ensure arrival before Halloween!

Hi Dee! I have not been checking out this site very often so I just now saw the very cute pillow dresses and the cute totes! I would have ordered a tote (but I don’t think you ship to Asia, hehe)!
The pillow dresses remind me so much of dresses my grandma used to make for my nieces. They weren’t pillow dresses but the print and the style look similar. Evie is sure to be lucky to have a crafty mama!
Thanks Vera!
I used to love making these for my niece. Yours are wonderful.
