The second one has straight stripes on one side, wavy stripes on the other. I used the pieces I trimmed off to make a little purse, and to add a pocket to the dress. I like it.
Challenge yourself this weekend! Get out one of your own pillowcases, or get one from a thrift store, and try this. Once I figured out that the hem of the case = the hem of the dress and used store bought extra wide double fold bias tape for the arm holes, it was a piece of cake to make them.
If you do make one or two, I would love to see a pic of the finished products!

Yea, I'm in!
These are gorgeous. Think I have some fabric you sent me that I can make up into these little dresses. I don't want to wait to find the pillow cases. Thanks for the tip on the wide binding. Those purses are so cute, too. Did you put a zipper in them?
Hugs,
