Pillowcase dresses are so charming because they can be made from vintage or modern pillowcases. There are numerous free pillowcase dress pattern offered online, here you will find my 5 favorite free pillowcase dress patterns.

There are many reasons why I love pillowcase dress patterns but my top reason is a pillowcase dress is easy to make! Using a pillowcase to make a dress is also a great way to recycle, especially when there is only one pillowcase to be found.

Pillowcase Dress How To

I love this free pillowcase dress pattern because not only are the directions easy to follow but the photos are also really helpful. I am actually able to follow photos better than directions as I am a visual person so these photos are really helpful. The site also gives a great suggestion of getting a lone pillowcase at a thrift shop and because pillowcases are washed often they will tend to be really soft, perfect for a little girl's dress.
