Dresses!!

ok so I'm going to admit it, I'm a big copycat :)  I see something and then I try to make it.  Like this lovely little pillowcase dress...I saw it at the Pitman craft show and was dead set on making my own... I think I did pretty good!

It was actually WAY easier than I thought it was going to be.  You can make the dress out of actual pillowcases (hence the name), but I chose to use some really soft corduroy from Joann Fabrics.  and I even used casing for the armholes, which I previously never even knew existed, but let me tell you, it's a miracle worker.  (For those of you who are like I was, the casing is the brown trim-looking stuff that lines the armholes.... it allows you to put an end to the fabric without having to hem it, because hemming on a curve is NOT something I want to deal with)

And again with the copying (I know, I know, get some original ideas Robin)... my friend Melissa got this ADORABLE knot dress to take her daughter's 2nd birthday pictures in... and yet again, I HAVE to know how to make this!

The dress sort of looks like this one (picture courtesy of http://www.youcanmakethis.com/info/featured-products/Forget-Me-Knot-Dress-Sizes-12mth-5.htm)

Except I'm going to make it with all types of delicious fall patterns and fabrics (mixture of corduroy and cotton).  This is the palette I think I'm going to try :)

I dare you to tell me you don't love owls and apples?!?!
