Wanted to post the kids' Easter pictures. I'm so proud of how the girls' dresses turned out. Mom bought the pillowcases from a vintage linens dealer in Canton, and I sewed them into dresses for the little girls. You can't see it in the picture, but the bottom of Cara's dress is delicately embroidered with a floral pattern. So pretty! Makes me want to go back to Canton and buy that lady out. The pillowcases were pretty yellowed, and one had a bad rust stain on it, but after Mom soaked them in a special solution the dealer recommended, they were gleaming white.
I made Abby's dress, too, but not out of a pillow case. You just don't have quite enough material in a pillow case to cut a dress for a nine year old. At least, not one suitable for wearing to church.

you are WAY talented, huh??
precious kiddos.
You should stop by Megan's blog and see what her dad said about his Easter shirt...I'd bet your boys could sympathize:):)
VERY HANDSOME family!!!!
Ditto to what Cari posted...I love the dresses. What a great idea!
Adorable. I wanted to make a pillowcase dress for Isabel's birthday but never found the time. But it wouldn't have looked this pretty. Silly question I know, with your talent. Did you follow a pattern? I've never seen one with sleeves and I love it.
Dresses are beautiful. Great idea and great job! Elaine
They are SO cute!!!!! The dresses too. ;)
Wow! What a great idea, of course it also takes skill to pull it off! You are simply fabulous!
