Posted - Apr 23 2008 : 1:05:05 PMI 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.

Posted - Apr 22 2008 : 6:53:25 PMLovely dresses and beautiful grandkids-ALL of them! I'm thinking of making some pillowcase dresses for my 2yr old this summer. We'll see if I get that far on my "to do" list though :)
