My Very First Pillowcase Dress


Wow, I finally did it!  I finished a dress this weekend for Elle!  Seriously, I have two started that I never finished, so I was very proud of myself.  This is the first article of clothing that I have ever made!  Anyway, it's a sort of pillowcase dress.  I didn't use a pattern, I just cut out a piece for the bodice that was wider at the bottom, and was slightly smaller on the top.  I made my own binding using the contrasting fabric.  I know there are many tutorials all over blog land, but I'd be happy to show how I made it if you'd like.  Just let me know in the comments.
Sorry there have been fewer posts lately, I am trying really hard to balance this blog, my family, and preparing for my first craft show. My brother just left last night, and my mom comes this week, so I have been busy!  I know you all love new posts, so I will continue to pump out as many as can!




Make sure to come back on Wednesday for my Share the Wealth Wednesday Link Party!


Make sure to check out all of my tutorials here, and follow me on Twitter and Facebook!
