Pillowcase Dresses

When I found out I was having a girl (who turned out to be Madeline), I hightailed it to the fabric store and loaded up on cute fabrics for all the dresses I planned to make. Ambitious, indeed I was.

I don't think I ever actually made anything for her, but that's really neither here nor there. The point is, I've had some fabric sitting and collecting dust these past two and a half years that I finally decided to make use of.

After a quick phone consultation with my friend, Nicky, I made a few pillowcase dresses for the girls. Not that they'll get to wear them anytime soon with weather this freezing.

But spring fever? I have it.

So with no further ado, I present the pillowcase dresses I've made so far:

Here's what it looks like on:


(I cropped her face lest you be subjected to the post-nap weeping and gnashing of teeth.)

I wish I could have taken the picture with her standing but I didn't want to press my luck. They sort of fall to an "A" line and are fairly long.
