Poe inspired pillowcase dress for Halloween


I don't really care for pillowcase dresses but they're fast and easy.  With a little creative thinking you can really dress them up.  I guess my biggest peeve it they're boring to sew up because they're so straight forward, lol.  I was in the middle of doing an order for a few Mickey Mouse inspired pillow case dresses when I decided to throw this one in the mix.  It spiced up the sewing a little from the Mickey Mouse dresses and I think it turned out super cute. 

I have a couple pillowcase dress patterns but I always pick the OlaJane Sew Easy Pillowcase Dress.  I really just love the fit of this dress.  It drops down to a perfect length.  I've made probably about 7 of the OlaJanes pillowcase dresses so far.  I picked up this fabric at Joanns in the clearance bin and knew I needed to make a dress out of it.  I was just stumped on what kind.  When I had to make the other dresses I knew the fabric would look adorable in this pattern if I spiced it up a little bit.  I used sparkly purple coordinate fabric and silver sparkle jumbo rick rac to sparkle it up. 

I love it.  Even though pillowcase dresses are a boring thing to sew up there's a ton of things to do to make each one different and cute.
