Sticking to what I know: pretty dresses

I need to deal with the recent stress by making something. That's what I do. I'm a MAKER, a DOER.

for days now, I have this dress in my bloglines. I am in love with this dress rom Pink Chicken.

So today, I grabbed a vintage Vera pillowcase that I have been holding onto for years and attempted to replicate the pattern. It's still not completely there. It needs to be shorter, and somehow, more rushed in the neckline. But I have the perfect fabric for the girls and I'm going to give it another try this morning. In the meantime, BB is just too happy to wear her pillowcase-come-pattern dress. It just happens to have yellow, which she LOVES and she was already dressed like a duckling this morning, sporting yellow from head to toes!

So cute!!! I just cannot sew clothes so I am so jealous. I like the idea that by using a pillowcase the dress is already "hemmed" somewhat. I might be able to do that. Might is the key word!
