A lovely box of dresses from the children and staff at St Marys Catholic School, Durham. Not only did they send 15 pairs of shorts and 18 dresses.They also added little notes in the pockets for the children that receive them. Brilliant idea!

I also received an AMAZING box of goodies from the very generous Jill who sent 59 dresses!! Yes 59. All sizes and colours and all beautiful. The sun came out again so I took the opportunity to take some more washing line photos.

Looking forward to making some dresses! I have been going through my wardrobe and I have found a skirt and a dress which I think that I could turn into nice dresses. As long as the finished product is a similar style to the pillowcase dress would this be o.k.? x
ReplyDeleteHi Charlotte, Yes thats absolutely fine. Look forward to seeing what you make!! x

Hello! I found you by searching for patterns for A Dress A Girl. My church has a small ladies sewing group and I suggested this as a fun project. I had stumbled across mention of ADAG a year or so ago and couldn't get the idea out of my mind. The pillowcase dresses are adorable, but I remember seeing another pattern... I think the pink dress above with the sort of wrap look to the bodice might be it! Could you possibly direct me to the source? Thanks ever so much. Please feel free to email me at diane at dianeshiffer.com
