I made a cherry version of this dress last fall and loved that it was so easy. Now that it has finally warmed up around here, I've been wanting to make some more light and breezy clothes for the girls. I'm sure these will end up being the summer dress of choice for 2009!
I started out making these matching dresses for S and Cousin L.
Once I got going I decided to make these Hawaiian ones for S and her far away cousins Emma and Lily. (These are for our Hawaiian themed night at our family reunion in July.)
And finally, these last two are for S. I'm pretty sure they are my favorites! I think the blue one on the left turned out dressy enough for her to wear to church (score!) Thanks, Les for the cute fabric! And the one on the right is from the leftover fabric from last year's chicken dress!
I think it's safe to say that after making 7 dresses in one week, I'm done with this pattern for awhile!
Cute, cute dresses. I love the easy pattern and man, you went to town. Good job.
ReplyDeleteL looks slightly sad and worried. Probably because S was stealing her smarties. :)
ReplyDeletethanks again for the dress!
I love the big flower hawaiian dress! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteI've always loved these kind of dresses. Your girls are so lucky to have a mom like you. I have two boys, so maybe someday I will make some of these.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry I never got to thank you for your giveaway. I won your fabric and I LOVE IT! I stare at it every day (well, almost), trying to think about what I want to do. I've kind of group the fabric and I know for sure I am going to make a birthday banner and a patched together ("quilt") table runner....I think. I will post my projects when I do them. Thanks again!!!
I really like that paisley looking blue one with the white trim. I think you could use it for church too.
ReplyDeleteCute! I love the blue/orange one.
ReplyDeleteWell, if you're going on a bender at least this one is legal! LOL Very cute...
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented.!! All those dresses are super cute.
ReplyDeleteDumb question: why are they called pillowcase? Is it because they can be made out of one?
ReplyDeleteYes, and when you make them out of non pillowcase fabric, you use the whole width of a 45" piece. I'm assuming that's pretty close to the width of a pillowcase, too. Just a guess...
