Pillowcase dress attempt #2. I am much much happier with this one- it definitely is long enough to be a dress. I was able to do my single-shoulder-bow. And I love the fabric! Gwen seemed to think it was okay, too. Of course, she’s just as happy naked.
Ooooh- and the 44″ long tie strap for this one? I found a cool trick for turning straps with a serger, if you have one. Set it to rolled hem, stitch a looong tail- about 5-10″ longer than the tube you’re about to make- and take the end and tuck it inside the tube when you serge it together. Keep it out of the way of the needles and knives, and hold onto the end while you serge- when you’re done, you can give it a tug and turn the whole tube rightside out! SO much easier than any way I’ve done before, and quick as could be!
