I made a pillowcase dress today (out of fabric though because i dont have any pretty pillowcases) And i actually didnt screw it all up! yay! Its really big though....like i did the measurements but the chart was big i guess. its sorta big on david so its pretty big on Kayla. So i'm trying to wash it really good and get it to shrink some and now i now i can measure smaller. But it turned out good and looks right and everything so i'm proud of myself. When ever it gets dry i'll post pics of it. Yay. Now i'm going to make one for my friends daughter and then i have another dress i'm going to make and i'm going to make one for her daughter with that fabric too! yay! Oh and it took me like 2 hours....which is amazing because it used to take like a day or two. So i'm getting faster. Yay!!

If they are too big let me know...i'll resize them.
Turned out pretty good. I had to fix it because it was tooooooo big. so it isnt quite like i wanted but it will do for my first dress. I also made a little pillow after i oiled and cleaned my machine...but i have now stuffing...haha....man my machine is soooooooooooo much smoother now that i cleaned and oiled it! haha

I definitely just spent 5 minutes trying to figure out how exactly you made a pillowcase into a dress that would fit you....then reread the thread and laughed at myself. :)
