Celeste found an easy tutorial for pillowcase dresses. We tried it out and they are super cute and fun to make. You can find the tutorial here: http://www.graceviolet.com/2008/05/how-to-make-pillowcase-dress.html
I also found a tutorial on how to make fabric flowers for hair clips and I sewed one on to Bailey's dress as well http://solovelycreations.blogspot.com/2009/07/flower-clip-tutorial-and-party.html
That's so dang cute! I can't wait until I have a cute girl like Bailey to dress up someday!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I've also seen these made out of bandanas, and they are super cute too!
ReplyDeleteHere's the tutorial for those:

Glad you posted this because I was hounding Celeste for it!
ReplyDeletethanks for posting it Amber!! I really like the yellow one!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to make those flower pins forever now, and it looks so easy! But I need somebody's help!! What does it mean in step #4 to "stitch in place"? Obviously, I don't sew. Any help would be really appreciated!
ReplyDeleteI didn't quite know what that meant either. So after I had bunched it up and formed it into a circle, I sewed the ends together and then cut off the excess and then kind of reformed the circle and hand sewed the center so it would stay that way. I don't know if that helps, you have to play around with it until it works. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYa I think it means to just hold it in place and stitch it secure, either by hand or by machine.
