Pillow Case Dress

My sweet Madison doesn't like to wear anything but dresses. Which is not a problem, but Madison is so tall that most of her 3T and a few of her 4T are at her knee or above. Somehow I convinced her in the last few weeks that wearing a really cute pair of jeans with her short dresses would be cute. She took to that idea. So today I decided to dive in and make her a pillow case dress. So I got material out that I have been storing for some time and using only my brain and a demo of a dress I saw on line, I made this for my Madison this afternoon. Only took me an hour, some seams are crooked, but I don't think Madison cares and neither do I. Good thing I am not a perfectionist. I have three more to make her and hopefully she can be happy for a little while with her new wardrobe.Paige wanted a long dress instead of a shirt, so I did what she wanted. She loves it and that makes her mom happy.

Those are so cute! I love how they turned out! Lily insisted on wearing a dress today, I thought of you and told her she could if she wore jeans under it. What do you, she looks really cute! Thanks for solving the it's too cold for dresses in winter problem.
