It's Pillow Case Mania!

Since before she was born, I've been wanting to make Sissy some pillowcase dresses.  They are so adorable and pretty simple to make.  I finally got around to doing it this week.  I made two!  I actually bought a really cute one from Tangerine Threads via ETSY.com and used that as a model.  There is a great video tutorial from the Crafty Gemini that I referred to as well.  I created my own pattern since I used material and not an actual pillow case - which you can do by the way!

Here are my creations:
You can't see it as well in this photo, but the blue in the dress really sets off her baby blues!

She had just woken up from her nap and I INSISTED that she try her "Minnie" dress on...You can see that Momma won the battle, but not the war!  Later on in the day, she was in love with the dress.  I'm contemplating putting a Minnie Mouse head applique on the bottom corner...haven't decided yet.  Any thoughts?

I've got fabric for 3 more different dresses yet.  One is a green print fabric that Sissy calls her "Tinker" dress...can't wait to make that one for her!
