| Little Pillow Case Dresses for Africa Girls 11-12, Toddler 3-4 |
This MLK weekend, I'm doing service work for others by making Little Dresses for Africa. The dresses are constructed out of pillow cases. You can use a store-bought pillow case or you can make a pillow case and turn it into a dress...that's what I'm doing. See the Little Dresses for Africa link below (littledressesforafrica.org) for details and printable sewing instructions. Patternless sewing, my favorite!
I'm using my fabric stash, and spending a few dollars on low cost cotton fabric at Wal-Mart to make Easy Tube Pillow Cases--ridiculously easy, professional finish, FABULOUS. Fun and funky pillow cases alone are a great gift to yourself or others. To turn my pillow cases into dresses, I don't finish the top hem of the case but leave it open since this forms the neckline of the dress. I center the seam down the back of the dress.
Check out the links and if you are inspired to make ANYTHING, share here! What are YOU making?
