I would like to make some pillow case dresses for my girls for the summer. I am a beginner sewer. Does anyone know of a nice tutorial?

Thanks!!

I linked to a tutorial for a super easy pillow case dress on my blog. Here is the post Saragh's Pillowcase Dress. Hope that helps!

Blessings,
Betsie

I found several tutorials. It must have been last year there were several women who showed their gorgeous Pillowcase dresses, but I couldn't find a trace of the discussion here, so my memory must be a little hazy.

But I did remember this site:

A safer Pillowcase Dress which I liked the "safer" part.

Wish I had a little girl to make one!

Thanks for the links. I really like the "safer" one. She even says how many st per inch I should set my machine (I am *really* a beginner, so I need stuff like that).

Now the next question, where to get pillowcases? I was thinking of checking out the thrift store, but if I am unsuccessful there, where else should I look?

Thanks!!
