    Thank you for this video. My mother is sewing pillowcases for little girls in Africa, and she needed instructions on how to sew them; this is one of the few demonstrations on making the dresses from pillowcases!

      Giuditta627 , Africa is a continent with 54 countries. ..so it's always good to mention the country's name where the clothes are being send to.....thanks☺

    Finally! Someone who actually uses a pillowcase (from the countless videos I've clicked.) I'm new to this and thought "pillowcase" meant something different until I saw this video. :-)

    Thank you. That was a great tutorial. I just made a dress with a simple pattern, and had no idea how to do the sleeves, so I folded them under and sowed them.

    I subscribed to learn from you, start making clothes shopping 1 child easier. Hopefully, later on 4 children easier.
    Stay at home mommy and we home school.
    This will benefit my 13 yo daughter, she sews better than me, to make clothes for her baby sister. She already makes baby doll clothes. I think your video really breaks it down for me to understand.

    It is a brilliant idea to make a dress from a pillow case. I suggest you to add some photos of final dress with a real life model or dummy wearing it to see how it truely looks like. Thanks for sharing.

    Ill buy a cotton bedsheet and make a shirt a pair of pants etc in a minute due to the price a yard of fabric these days outrageous jo anne fabrics and i buy it at a thrift store all my stuff has turned out great fabric is fabric you can also find patterns really cheap at the thrift stores even to your sewing machines i even found a serger recently at my local thrift store for about 50.00 fabric itself is 2 to 6 dollars for 5 to 6 yds very useful a pillow case wouldnt fit me of course but the bed sheets do

  • @juanitasparkes3374
    @juanitasparkes3374 10 лет назад

    I do enjoy this idea. I am curious, do you seam off the ribbon to prevent unraveling? Also how well do you think something like this would do for a summer nightgown for a little one? I liked this video very much, your voice is a lot more calming than some others out there and doesn't distract or annoy me when I am trying to watch and learn how to do a project. Thank you.

    • @josthomas7507

      You can snip it across at an angle, which will stop it coming undone.

      this style makes excellent nighties, as a 9 or 10 year old (I'm now well into my 50's), they weren't called "pillowcase dresses back then, they were just draw-string neck dresses. I used to make them out of any light weight cottons I could find in my mum's scrap/off-cut bin, such as lawn, poplin, voile or even cheesecloth, or you could also recycle any cotton fabric, like a 'percale' bed-sheet, for summer weight, or flannelette, brushed nylon etc for winter weight (just pop a long-sleeved t-shirt under for extra warmth), as long as the fabric is comfy against the skin...

  • @lynneclark2265
    @lynneclark2265 5 лет назад

    Your Grandmother is Totally Awesome!!!! I'm thinking that shorts could also be made from the pillowcases by simply splitting them from the bottom to make the legs. They would not be as easy, but they are equally needed.

    • @pattimajors8116
      @pattimajors8116 9 лет назад +2

      ***** she cut the bottom part off. She measured from the open end down, cut across the pillowcase and threw the closed part to the side

    • @smallfootprint2961

      check the package when you buy the pillowcases... or if used, take a tape with you.

  • @faithgermany
    @faithgermany 5 лет назад

    It should definitely be shown worn by a model or even just someone. I would hate those shoulder bows, but that is only a personal view. But it would have been possible with the sewer's skills to find a smarter solution, especially if she has cut off some off the pillow-case material. But never mind, you could still push a pillow into it and it would be very decorative.
