Pillowcase Dresses

My Church group is donating and sending 100 dresses to an orphanage in Africa. With the help of the girls age 12-17 we made some simple pillowcase dresses to contribute. I am happy to say they sewed 17 dresses in one evening!

I, of course, had to try my hand at the easy pattern. Boy, is it easy peasy! I've been wanting to make one for a long time. Below are 2 examples that I whipped up! From start to finish they take about 20-30 minutes. Perfect for a summer dress or swimsuit cover-up!

This is 2 dresses in one. I love the summery butterflies!

A twist on the original version. This was made with my fabric scraps. I added a yoke on top to give the dress a little more shape. I even gave it a pocket for all her little treasures!
