Learning to make a pillowcase dress has never been so fun or easy!
In this lesson, Ann, the owner of the Stitching Studio in Austin, will show you how to turn a vintage, laced, embroidered pillowcase into a little girl's pillowcase dress with just a few easy steps and some basic materials.
You don't need a pattern to make a pillowcase dress, thanks to her step by step lesson, helpful tricks, and cute ideas. All you will need is a sewing machine and this lesson to get started.

I love fabric. And sewing machines. I have 500 sq. feet of fabric in big plastic tubs and 9 sewing machines. It seemed logical to start teaching sewing lessons in order to pay for the care and feeding of my fabric and machines so I opened The Stitching Studio in Austin, Tx.

I can't even say I'm a beginner since I don't really sew, but with this intructions I think I'll be able to!!! Amazing lesson, one question though: the lesson mentions elastic and knit elastic, what is the knit elastic for? I watched the video over and over and couldn't find where it goes... Thx!!!

Thank you so much. I was dying to make a dress like this, and finally was able to do so. I had bought a sewing a machine but never used it until now. I never sewed anything in my life, and accomplished to make this in just under an hour. How exciting. My daughter, 23 months old, finally got to show off something mommy made. Thanks for the easy instructions!

I just watched the video and can't wait to get started. I have been quilting for several years and was intrigued by the simplicity of watching a video vs. trying to figure out how to read a pattern with real sewing terms or seamstress jargon. I was very impressed with how simple this dress looks to make! It was explained in such a way that anyone will be able to make this fun project and even share the experience with their little girl! The only improvement I might have suggested is a higher resolution in the camera filming process. Things look a slight bit grainy, but that is really not related to the content of material discussed. Anyway, I gotta go, I have some dresses to make!!

- Wonderful Pillowcase Dress

This was a wonderful video. Very easy to follow, and the dress turned out wonderful. The only problem I ran into was the instructions say use 3/4 inch elastic but I had to end up cutting it to make it fit into the casing. This wasn't a big problem by any means. Next time, I will just get thinner elastic. GREAT, GREAT, GREAT video. I don't sew much at all but I could follow this video. Will see if she has more instructional videos to purchase.

This was just what I was looking for. This is an excellent video. Probably best to download onto your computer rather than just viewing. In that way, you won't have the problem of jumpy viewing, or stopping 10 minutes in. I can't wait to make some of these for my granddaughters.

Hy, i dont understand if the bias shows on the arm hole when the dress is finished or you have fold bias tape along stiching line so it is completely inside the armhole, none showing from the outside.
Pls help!!!
thanks.
