Candy Corn Pillowcase Dress

I am a bit late adding this picture, but I think it turned out so cute. It is even cuter with little Miss Braylee in it, I'm sure, but I didn't get to see that. These pillowcase dresses are SO EASY that pretty much anyone can make them, I think. My DIL, Desarae, asked me last Spring if I could make these. I hadn't even heard of them until she asked. They were selling for $18 on Etsy! Seriously? They take less than 1/2 yard of fabric for her tiny body and maybe 1 1/2 hours to make! I watched a tutorial and used ribbon sewed onto elastic for the straps in the first one. The elastic seemed to stretch a little and I just didn't care for the way it turned out. I just used the orange fabric with polka dots to make one long "ribbon" and looped it through the casings. I figured this way the dress can be used for more years and maybe even for a top with leggings eventually. It just makes it more adjustable.
