ok i think i have to whole pillowcase thing down its seems easy but what do i do about the armholes??? How do i do that and how do i sew it just hem it over or use bias tape i have never been good at that but hey its worth a try... Also i dont have an embroidering machine so is it expensive to get things embrodered? |

Embroidery can be $5.00 and up depending on where you take it. most people use bias tape on the arm holes.They are reall easy to make. I went recently to a childrens boutique and they were selling these things for $100.00. It takes maybe 20 mins to make one from an actual pillow case. Is that not sad?

Not exactly a pillow case dress, but something I constructed myself and others looooove, so simple to make too.. similar to the PCD. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i117/mamaruca/Orangedrop-length16chest18straps9.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i117/mamaruca/3Tsummerdress-Hotpink.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i117/mamaruca/RedHippy-length19chest20straps9.jpg I have sold a couple of them, and customers seem to be very happy with them. My girls look so adorable in them also. |

Arrrrggg!  I can't seem to find the pillow case dress instructions! It's probably tucked away in a file somewhere on my computer! Sorry! Maybe it will show up soon. Tina *~~~~(**)~~~~*
