Pillowcase Boy's Shorts and a Pillowcase Dress

I have just made c2 some cute shorts! I am so excited!! So far it's been PJs, PJs and more PJs... Well, there was ONE other pair of shorts... But you see what I mean! LOL

Here they are!



There's not really pink on them.... Something weird happened over at PicMonkey... LOL



And here is c1's pillowcase dress! My gosh those things are quick and easy! A 50 cents pillowcase and 30 mins and she has a new dress! Can't beat that! LOL



I was trying different things out at PicMonkey.... Not sure I like the way look when they are that big... LOL They looked much better when they were smaller.  I'll take some better pics in the natural light tomorrow.

If you are new to sewing go the Goodwill and grab some pillowcases! Pillowcase shorts and dresses are VERY simple and easy to make. The shorts are made just like the pants in my pajama tutorial.  Just be careful when you are dealing with vintage linens. They can be very delicate.

    Those are great! The dress is lovely, and looks like it would be cool when we get really bogged down with the heat.

    They are SO quick and easy!! It took me maybe all of 30 mins. and that would probably be stretching it. LOL

    I have heard of adult pillowcase dresses but I think it would be more like a several pillowcases dress for me.... LOL ;)

    Those pillow case dresses are so darn cute. I would never have thought to make shorts from pillowcases. I used to make my boys tons of shorts when they were small.

    I was trying to come up with something for him and when I saw that particular pillowcase I knew! LOL All I had to do was get rid of the ruffle and go from there! ;)
