I just joined the group and have had a wonderful day looking at all your posts. I thought I would add my latestest creations. I sew a lot for my Grandkids but have just starting blogging so my site is pretty new. Take a look. Janis

I always loved making pillowcase dresses for my daughter when she was younger, she is almost 9 now and very much has her own ideas about clothes.

Welcome Janis. Your blog is sweet. All the grandkids. How wonderful. I have only 4 and that looks like all there will be. Give them all big hugs. MB

I've never even heard of a pillowcase dress ... but they are darling! How very clever! And those grandbabies are sweet as can be!

Blessings, Lea

I used this tutorial but changed it a little. I made the yoke by copying the dress top and made it 2 inches below the armhole opening long (?) When I sewed it on I placed the right side of the yoke to the wrong side of the dress and stitched all around. Then I turned it and pressed it and this way you don't need to put a casing around the armhole. I like to use elastic across the front and back rather than using ribbon to go all the way through. then I just sew the ribbons to the corners.

So cute Janis! Tell us how you made them! I've heard of pillowcase dresses, but never made one.
