Pillowcase Dresses

I have had so much fun this summer sewing pillowcase dresses for little girls.  For the Forth of July I made red, white and blue polka dot dresses.


The dress is modeled by the daughter of my photographer friend, Emyla. Emyla  is a vendor at the Cache Valley Gardeners' Market and the owner of Em'z Design'z & Photography.

I visit fabric shops frequently.  It is not unusual for me to see a fabric or fabrics and know instantly what I will make with them.  Such is the case with my Big Flowers and Polka Dots pillowcase dress.  I love these colors! Who knew mustard yellow was cute?


Now that August is almost half over and fabric stores are coming out with their fall and winter colors and fabrics I suppose it is time to put away this joyful obsession and move on to something inspired by the change of season.  Suggestions anyone?
