Pillowcases have been used to make little girls dresses for at least 80 years. They were born during at a time when nothing was thrown away and time was precious.
They're very simple to make and there's no end to the pillow case designs whether they're vintage or contemporary.
So, when a mother of one of Jack's classmates asked me to make some for her daughters I agreed. Even though they've been a staple in children's clothing I never made one for my daughter or granddaughter and I wanted to give it a try.
Another little hitch, she didn't have pillowcases but some fabric that the girls just loved. It reminds me of a vintage quilt.
Bear in mind that Alice, my dressmaking assistant, is a little big as a model but I think you'll get the idea.
Won't they be cute with their Easter bonnets and all the frills upon it?
