This retro tie-die pillowcase made up into a real cutie after we added some lace trim to the bottom...

In quest to find a project where students don't incur much cost, we began to make pillowcase dresses!  This has been one of the most fun and profitable projects we have designed.  Purchase used or new pillowcases.  The ones with the ruffle already on makes great ones.  If not available you can purchase trims that can be added to the bottom for that just right little girl look!

Here are a couple of public blogs from the internet to get started...
