Hannah has really been deprived thus far in life by not owning a pillowcase dress. But I remedied this problem last night. While searching for Easter Dresses (which by the way is SO much more exciting, and expensive, than searching for Easter Ties) I came across some pillowcase dresses for the umpteenth time. Not surprising since they are everywhere these days. Well, the Easter Dress definitely needs to be much more poofy than a pillowcase dress, but still the girl needs a pillowcase dress.
So, rather than pay $22 for one (yeah right) I figured it was time I finally made one so I stood up and walked over to my scrap fabric. One hour later I was showing this beauty to Taylor
(the dress, not Hannah...she had been peacefully sleeping for many hours by this time).
The next one should come out in about 30 minutes I guess as I measured the sleeping babe and various pieces of her wardrobe as well as setting up a custom listing and answering a convo on etsy during the one hour.
This dress is definitely my first success in clothing! It actually fits and is not too short and too wide which is my normal clothing issue. I'm very satisfied with this dress! And Hannah feels oh so cute!

Turned out way cute! Glad you had a clothing project for little Hannah turn out right! =) Well done... =)
Darling!!
What is a pillowcase dress? That dress doesn't look like a pillowcase to me!!
Very cute Kristi!! Good job!
What a fun print! I'm not a sewer at all, but I might have to try one of those one day.
I love that fabric! Maybe I can take a whole sheet and make a dress for myself... doesn't sound as cute though, does it?
She's one lucky girl to have a mom sew such cute stuff for her. You'll have to try a dress out of a shirt for her next...they are so cute!
I love that apple/pear fabric...admit it...you've converted to designer fabric- it's the cutest stuff!!!
