SUMMER PILLOWCASE DRESS

Pillowcase Sun Dress
After spending an hour on the sewing machine making a pillow and duvet cover for Daisy's doll's pram, I deceided to keep going with the sewing and finish a little sun dress for Daisy that I had started the other day. This is one of the easist things I have ever made and I will definately be making more! I've already started to trawl ebay for vintage white pillowcases that will make lovely sun dresses and tops. I used a cot bed size pillowcase(60cm x 40cm), as that is what I had to hand (I bought it by mistake, thinking it was a full size one). It fits Daisy ideally, but you could use regular size ones for a looser fit, for older children, or even to make a summer top for an adult. I wanted Daisy to model it, but she is not feeling too good today and was, therefore, somewhat uncooperative! Full details how to make this on my Sewing page.
