exactly. I had some directions from some website but I changed it because I didn't like the idea of the ribbon around the neck. Maybe I'm overprotective, but it seemed like a strangulation hazzard for my little girl  .Sorry I don't have a better picture. Wendy

I'm so glad it worked for you! One of the things that are great about these dresses is that they can wear them for a couple years. I think Kate wasn't even 2 years old in that picture, she is 3.5 now and it still fits her, a bit shorter and the pants are now capris but it still looks great!

My Dad was in the Navy and stationed @ St. Charles or around there. I was young so I dont remember much about it. I Know I have had a pillow case dress for Lizzy that she still wears from when she was about 18 months. They do fit forever because she will be 4 in Jan. I went to a boutique in town a few months back and they were asking over $100.00 for these things and it takes no time to make them once you get the hang of it. I havealso seen them made into peasent style dresses and they are cute too. I am glad you are enjoying them and I hope to see pics soon. Catherine

I know exactly where St. Charles is! I live maybe 45 minutes from there in Cary (Near Crystal Lake, noone's ever heard of Cary LOL). I have a friend who lives in St. Charles, we usually take meet up halfway and take the kids to Randall Oaks petting Zoo or to Spring Hill Mall

I've lived in Illinois my entire life (44 years) and I know where St. Charles & Cary are, as well as a few other places. Have friends & relatives that live in close proximity to those areas. I love those pillow case dresses. Just wish I had someone to make them for! My DD is going to be 9 in December and they won't fit her.....even if I could convince her to wear a dress! LOL!

So little time, sew much to do........... |
