Sewing fun

Months ago I ran across a website with directions on how to make "pillowcase dresses" for little girls. I've been wanting to try it out for my little bug, but just didn't have enough free time. Today I had a rare afternoon free as my attending took the day off. After spending a solid two hours in the kitchen cooking and finding that the bug was STILL napping, I figured this was my chance.

I don't have any fancy vintage pillowcases, so I just purchased a simple, cheap solid color pillow case from Walmart (2 pack for $5.50). I also happen to be a bargain bin shopper and have an entire box full of fabric bindings and rick rack embellishments that I purchased from a craft shop for 25 cents a pack that I used to fancy it up. The directions I used can be found here.

Cost breakdown

$2.25 - one pillowcase

$0.25 - white binding

$0.25 - white rick rack

$1.50 - elastic (used only 1/5 of the pack)

(+ white and teal thread from my sewing accessories)
