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.
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.
Child's Free Pillowcase Dress Pattern
This cute free pillowcase dress pattern is perfect for a little girl and so easy to make. There is a small little link that is at the top of the page that is marked: download pillowcase dress. Click on the link and a simple and easy free pillowcase dress pattern will open up.
This adorable free pillowcase dress pattern is really easy to follow, again this blog has wonderful photos to follow along with the written directions. I really like the pillowcase fabric that was used for this little dress, although this is a simple dress pattern it is easy to give this dress charm and interest by choosing a pillowcase that has an interesting design printed on it.
Here you will find a completely sweet pillowcase dress pattern along with little bloomers and coordinating bows. It is easy to see from viewing the photo of the pillowcase dress just how easy it is to spruce up the pillowcase dress by adding simple items such as bloomers and bows.
What I love about this cute free pillowcase dress pattern is the little accessories that have been added to the pillowcase dress. Items such as rick rack and buttons really give the pillowcase dress that custom and whimsical feel. There are so many things you can do to add detail to a pillowcase dress, simply by looking at photos of others creations can help to get the creative juices flowing.
