This dress ended up being a little bit longer than I intended, but Addie will be able to wear it for a long time now since she is growing so fast. So happy sewing to anyone who wants to try.

Pllowcase dress
So I am trying to get back into sewing, and since I haven't done a whole lot with sewing in the first place I wanted to start out easy. I decided to make a pillowcase dress for Addie for Easter. It was fairly quick and easy. It was the perfect thing to get re-acquainted with the sewing machine, and it was fun to do. I just googled pillowcase dress instructions and went from there. The only thing I would suggest if anyone is interested in trying this is to make the cuts for the arm holes 1-1 1/2 inches instead of 3 inches, and then I just hemmed the arm holes instead of using bias tape because I sewed on ribbons to tie over the shoulders. Other than that the steps are pretty easy and then it is fun to add on any decorations you want.
This dress ended up being a little bit longer than I intended, but Addie will be able to wear it for a long time now since she is growing so fast. So happy sewing to anyone who wants to try.
