My sister-in-law Shana asked me to make a pillowcase dress for 1-year-old Michaela using this mod polka dotted fabric she picked up from Hobby Lobby. I love seeing how different a pattern can turn out with varied fabric choices. I followed this pattern for Michaela's dress, easily adjusting the length and gathering the neck fabric to a toddler size. I hope Michaela will get years of use from this garment -- first as a dress and down the road as a swing top -- for spot-on summer style!

Hi there, Melissa! That is one cute polka dot dress. Love the colors, and you did an excellent job making it. Your niece will cherish it as I know her mama does!
Love to you...

As you say Melissa, Spot on !
I continue to be in awe of your achievements considering the pain you suffer. I hope it is easing for you now.
This is precious! I found your blog a few days ago when I was looking for instructions for making pillowcase dresses. I just made one for my 3-year old out of fabric with kitties printed on it. She loves it! Thanks for sharing!
Polka Dot delicious! All my nieces are grown up - I guess I will have to wait to try to make one for a future grandniece.

It is so cute, Melissa!

I love following your blog! You are so creative!!! Do you by any chance make and sell pillow case dresses?
Great job! So cute!
Adorable!!!! I love it!
Melissa,
You have me worried with your last post and your second commentor...Hope you are doing OK.
I'll have to take another look at your tutorial - I literally thought today while shopping that I wished I could make Pookie (and Sash, too - but Pookie's my girlie girl) one of these dresses. I'm just not brilliant with written directions. Wanna YouTube?
Love ya, Girl. And yes, I'd take you up on a coffee/tea in St. Louie any day. You tell me when and I'll come up with where!

Erika, thanks for the compliment! Right now I don't make any crafts to sell. I really enjoy trying new projects and haven't settled on one that I would like to make for purchase, but I'll be sure to let you know if I do decide to open an Etsy shop down the road.
This is so sweet! I wish I knew a little girl or that mine were small again!
Get yourself a booth at the next street fair - at the next christmas bazaar - at the next event where mama's and little girls gather - YOU WILL BE A HIT with these simple and classy adorable dresses - watch.
My business hunches are always right sisterfriend!
