When I made a tunic for children, I thought I wouldn't make a toddler clothes again.
But.
I have found a pretty dress which can be made very easily. I didn't know this dress style is called pillowcase dress. I think I didn't try to make it if the dress name wasn't pillowcase dress, because I wouldn't have an idea of how to make it.
I am now love this dress to make!
It's pretty, very easy to make, adjustable to fit some ages!
I used gorgeous embroidered cotton fabric which was laying in my closet for a long time, it worked greatly!! I love the result, so I have made 2 dresses. One is for sale which would be fit up to 5T, the other one is for my friend's daughter who is 6 months old. My friend's daughter has just started to be able to stand up, she will start to walk soon :)
My friend has already seen the bigger size one, and she liked it. I hope it fit nicely to her daughter.
I added lining to it, since I thought the embroidery fabric would bother children's skin.
Small dress is just adorable. It makes me feel very happy just to see it.
I am now working on a project of "18x18" which was provided by my quilting group. The theme is "cool" or "hot" (or both if you like). Describe with any method you like in 18" square quilt. This is it.
I thought I would cut out tree and leaves shape of this, put white fabric for the background. But I found it's impossible with this surface. I am thinking what I should do after this...
And I thought it would be interesting if I would make a pillowcase dress with this. I anyway have leftover from this project. It would be fun.

I can't get over that quilt square. It is perfect for the theme.
ReplyDeleteHow did you make it? At first I thought it was smocking, but it looks like maybe stitched texture somehow with quilting on it.
The dress and the square are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see that Boo and Groucho are getting along, too.
Hi bettyninja!
ReplyDeleteIt is very easy to make it! just sew straight, straight, straight.... a lot!
Patch stripes, make mountain around the center of the stripe, and sew vertical. In the same way make a mountain on the abuttal, sew vertical. Repeat for all the stripes.
Next, sew horizontal laying flat the mountains. If you sew laying it flat right for the first line, the second should be laid flat left. Repeat until the end.
You need to sew a lot, but not difficult at all!
Hi Liz!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
They are really doing well as a couple as I jealous! Always being together, and glad to see Groucho lays down all the time!
How is your summer time? I bet you are so busy to take care of children! Hope you are enjoying the summer! (So hot though :( )
