This pass Friday I was really itching to make something......different....new......so I did a little research and find a couple of different, new sewing projects. My first project is Pillowcase Dress...it's very simply and really cute when done with chick patterns and colorful materials. I was so excited to get started that on my way home I stopped by hobby lobby. Not a great place to go for fabric because they don't have a wide variety but I didn't feel like driving out of my way. I found this hot pink poke a dot pattern and here are the results.
Now, you know me.....there is never any wasted fabric!! So with this one I thought out of the box and incorparated a little of my own details. Instead of putting ribbons, I made straps and used what little of the black ribbons I had to put bows on each side. I like the way the dress looks but I'm thinking of adding black and pink satin ribbons along the bottom for the dress. What do you think?

EBANNIE!!! I can't see any of your pictures! Only the top on of the pattern you found. I can't see anything else or any on the Easter Egg hunt posting. I am dying to see everything. I LOVE looking at stuff like those dresses and stuff. FIX YOUR BLOG!!! hahaha...

Oh wait, now I can see it! Nevermind.
THAT IS PRECIOUS!!! I can't believe you made that! Who is it for? You are such talented seamstress. You should open a shop on Etsy. There are a lot of sellers who sell stuff like that and they do really well.
Good job, Martha Stewart!!!

Oh, and yes I like the idea of adding something along the bottom! Maybe a pom pom fringe or the ribbon like you talked about.

Ahhh....thank you! It's really not for anyone, just wanted to see if it would turn out right but now i know i will never miss a little girls bday! hahhaha!
Thank you for thinking that my work is good enough to sell but I think need more practice and time before doing that!
Yes, I think I will stop by the store on my way home to get more ribbons and fabric.
Next time you come down or I come up I could teach you how to make them. It's really simple!

I don't even own a sewing machine! I am a horrible seamstress. I've tried before, but I was never patient enough.
Yours are so good! I hope you make some more stuff so I can see it!
