DIY tutorial of the week: Make a dress out of a pillowcase
I’ve been scouring the web for the ultimate in Make Do and Mend. And I think this genius tutorial for making a dress out of a pillowcase pretty much fits the bill.
Marceline over at Asking for Trouble shows you how to work some magic on an old pillowcase in very clear, easy-to-follow steps. All you need is a sewing machine, a pillowcase and some basic sewing skills.
I’m thinking a vintage pillowcase in a bold ‘60s floral would look amazing as a tunic for summer. You could also belt it in to define the waist.
In any case, I’m going to start looking at my old pillowcases in a brand new way…

That looks a lot like “indian kurta”
I used to make bags out of old cushion covers - the zip is already there…just sew on bag straps of preferred lengths! Might give this dress a go! xx
That’s a genius idea - never thought of that. If you post any of your creations we’ll put ‘em up here with a big fat link! xx
