Louise from Sew Scrumptious is collecting 100 dresses to send off to the charity and already has over 50.
The dresses are so easy to make, you only need a pillowcase (or any fabric), elastic, bias binding and thread. I had plenty of fabric so I made my own bias binding instead of buying some.
I made the blue one bigger than the size of a pillowcase so it would fit an older girl. In fact I used a duvet cover! No, it's not that big, I only used a bit of it!
Here they are side by side
These are gorgeous. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteGeorgia, these are gorgeous! My favourite is the blue, but only because i seem to be very 'into' blue at the moment. But I also love those cute little tulips.
ReplyDeleteI was going to make a couple of these, but I just haven't managed to get the time yet..maybe seeing yours will make me make the time!
Have a great week. x
Absolutely gorgeous. The bias binding is certainly worth the effort you put in.
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty, any little girl would be delighted to own something as lovely adn thoughtfully made. x
ReplyDeleteOh they're gorgeous. I especially like the green and white one (unsurprisingly!).
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous little dresses!
ReplyDeleteHow clever I love the green and white one
ReplyDeleteThese are so sweet and so gorgeous! What a fabulous idea!
ReplyDeleteWow! They are gorgeous. Thank you so much!! I love them and can't wait to see them. Love the bias binding you made too. Very clever! Will blog about them when they arrive with a link to your blog. Thanks again. Louise x
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking I'm going to make some of these and never get around to it. You did such a good job on them!
ReplyDeleteAnd- no, I'm not modeling the lamp shade. I should have, though. I was trying to hold it far enough away to take a picture. Didn't think about just leaving it on the lamp. (duh!) :)
Just goes to show how easy it is to make a difference in this world! One persons discarded fabric is another persons dream dress!! well done - I love both!! My daughter loves the blue one - she's 7 and thinks they are sooooo preetttyy!
ReplyDeletepretty
ReplyDeleteHow fantastic. I love what you made.
ReplyDeleteThose are L O V E L Y ! I think even my limited sewing skills could manage that. Thanks for sharing.

What a lovely idea, even i should be able to manage this. BTW I wish the winter weather had seen off my Eucalyptus tree, it's going to cost a fortune to have it felled it must be fifity feet tall and right by the back door! Kathy
ReplyDeleteHey Georgia, your dresses look great and well done making your own bias binding.......
ReplyDeleteI love Tulips and if I were a little girl I would think that dress so special.
Good use of a doona cover too.
Soon there are going to be some very happy little girls wearing some beautiful dresses made with love and care.
Enjoy your weekend,
Claire :}
