Pillowcase Dress & Matching Capris {Tutorial}

I've been working on a few different things this week, so today I decided to show you one thing I made for my almost 4 year old. This is just a quick little tutorial since I already did a more in-depth tutorial on the pillowcase dress/shirt not too long ago. I made this in a dress length so my daughter could wear it with or without shorts. This time I also made matching capris for her to wear with this dress when she's playing or whatever. I used this tutorial to make the capris, just made them longer and wider than this tutorial shows. Enjoy!
*For a 4 year old, I measured 24 inches long (the width is a standard sized pillow case), allowing 1 inch for bottom hem and 1 inch for top seam to thread the tie through.*

Pillowcase Shirt or Dress {Tutorial}

 

Pillowcase dress pattern are everywhere and I don't claim to have the best one, but I made one today for my four year old to wear as a shirt this summer. {Although she's wearing it today in this 82 degree weather.} These dresses/shirts go great with leggings or biker shorts and can be worn all Spring and Summer! When the weather is chilly, just add a lightweight cardigan or put a t-shirt under it. I bought this fabric at Wal-Mart for $1.50/yd. I used 1/2 yard, so this shirt cost me .75 cents to make. It's adorable!
