Pillow Case Dress Tutorial

Welcome! If you have found this post through a forum or website, please leave a comment & let me know where you came from. Check out the rest of my blog for giveaways & other sweet stuff.

This post will mainly be a photo tutorial, click on any picture to make it larger. If you have any questions, let me know.

Supplies/Tools Needed

  • 1 pillowcase
  • bias tape (optional, you can also use the extra pillow case for this)
  • elastic
  • safety pins
  • scissors
  • measuring tape
First measure you child. You will need to measure across the chest. You will also need to measure the length that you want the dress to be. This measurement is from the chest to knee or mid calf. (ie. Hatties measurements are: chest – 6 inches, length – 20 inches.) The chest measurement is for the elastic.
Standard (American) Dress Lengths for Little Girls
6 – 9 months: 14 inches
12 months: 15.5 inches
18 months: 17.5 inches
2T: 19.5 inches
3T: 21 inches
4T: 22 inches
5/6: 24 inches
7/8: 26 inches


Next you will cut the pillowcase. When you cut acroos the top of the pillowcase (i.e. lenght), add an inch to the length for your casing fold. For the arm holes cut a ‘J’ edge, along the side seams, that is about 3 – 4 inches high/3 – 4 inches wide.

If you want to make your own bias tape from the pillow case selvage, you should cut that now. For a 1/2 inch bias tape, you need to cut 2 1/2 inch strips. Cut two strips.

Next you will iron the casing for the elastic in the front & back of the pillow case. Starting at the raw edge, iron a 1/4 inch fold then fold & iron a 3/4 inch fold.

Finally sew the casing closed. Sew as close to the edge as possible, leaving a 3/4 inch casing. This step does not have to be perfect. The roaching from the elastic will hide a multitude of mistakes.

Now while you have the iron out, iron the bias tape. This is how I make bias tape, if you make it differently, make it how you usually make it.

First Iron in half, open. Then iron both raw edges to the center. Finally fold & iron in half again.

Your project should now look like this.

Now you will feed the casing with elastic. You will want to cut the elastic the length of the chest minus 1/2 inch. You will need 2 pieces of elastic the same length. Attach a safety pin to either end of the elastic for feeding purposes.

Feed the elastic through the casing. Then sew all four raw edges of casing, sewing the elastic into the casing.

Now pin the bias tape to both arm edges.

Starting at the edge of the bias tape, begin sewing the tape closed. Continue sewing closing the dress in the tape. Make sure you give yourself enough room to catch both edges.

Finish off the bias tape by using your button hole stitch on the diagonal.

Snip all of your seams. Viola, finished dress.

For personal use only.

  2. Melain :
    HOW the hhhHHELL did you come up with that idea! So cute.

    ps... What's a girl got to do to get an invite to read your other blog...?
  3. Jan :
    That is so cute Susan. Thank you. I want to teach my daughter to sew and that would be a perfect start.
  4. Movie Queen :
    Can I just have that one in the picture? Not that I have a girl that little to put it on. Oh, if only I could sew...seriously, I am so impressed that you whipped that up. What a CLEVER and super CUTE idea.
  5. LauraLea :
    Thanks for your tutorial. I'm a soon to be grandma and am making a file for the grandchild to be. I found you roundabout after looking at Anna Maria Horner's blog, then JenRedInstead Flickr pattern and she also has a blog. I will only be using the pattern tutorial for personal use making gifts for family. Thanks! I try to respect everyone who I get information from and give credit where credit is due. This pattern comes around every so many years. I remember it when my daughter was little, 20 years ago. People like you with the tutorial have helped me remember how! Thanks again. These are so sweet! Your tutuorial is excellent!
  6. Candas :
    I want to know more about that fabric! I love it! What kind is it? :)
  7. erin :
    found you at the SLC farmers' market this morning. my sister bought a couple ponytail thingies while i ogled your little girls' dresses. you pointed me here! thanks again.
  8. Mormishmom :
    So cute! I googled tutorials on pillowcase dresses and found you. Here's hoping this one's a girl so I can make one!
  9. Paula :
    Susan,
    I saw how you made these when your neices all came to church matching and then to nursery where I carefully examined how you did it. They are so stinking cute. My girls wore them just about everyday this summer. I even made myself one to use as a cover-up at the pool!
  10. Jesslyn :
    Hey, I found u via google search!

    Thanks for the wonderful tutorial.

    ~Jesslyn from Malaysia
  11. Cindy :
    Googled this as I saw the dresses for $50 at a shop, found the vintage pillow slips (gorgeous hand appliqued and embroidered) for $3 a pair at a thrift shop and needed the pattern. Thanks so much! Added you to my favorites, as grammie to 11 (more girls than boys) I'll check back for hints.
  12. Jenny B :
    Found you through Google search! Thanks for the instructions. I'm off to make one now.
  13. ellen :
    I love this idea...saw it this weekend at a local craft show but the lady wasn't much of a seamstress. I love that you listed the the lengths of different sizes but how do you know about the width of the dresses? I know you said to measure the chest for the elastic but how do we know how wide to make the dress?
  14. Peta :
    I just googled pillowcase dress and came up with you. Many thanks! I will be dusting off the sewing machine this weekend.
  15. straubfamily :
    I found you through a google search and I love it. I've had a sewing machine for 3 years and have yet to use it. This looks so easy and the dresses are adorable. Can't wait to make one for my daughter! Thanks.
  16. JuliaGulia :
    Hi I found you by just googleing pillow case dress. LOVE IT!!!! Thanks your pattern is so much easier then others i have found. Thanks again.

  18. Beth :
    Found through Google. Great instructional page. Good job!
  19. Elyssia :
    These dresses are absolutely adorable!! I can't wait for summer now!! My daughter is 2 1/2 and I have another girl on the way due in late may. I just made this dress for my daughter, thank god it was a practice dress because I hand stitched it. I will definitely need a sewing machine next time around, but overall it is so cute!! I googled pillow case dresses and out of all the tutorials, yours was the easiest to follow. I read 3 other very complicated ones. Thanks so much!!
  20. The Rauths :
    so bummer that i did not see this tutorial before i made mine for craft hope this weekend. you tutorial is so much more helpful and specific than any others out there. i need to try them again now! thanks for taking the time to write this.
  21. Katie :
    Just over from Craft Hope. I made my first dress without the tutorial. My armholes look a little lumpy. I also made my own bias tape. Wondering if you have any suggestions for getting the armholes to lay better?
  22. Lopez :
    Searched Google for this pattern and viola! Thanks!
  23. Nesiejean :
    Read a post on Polka Dot Cottage (http://www.lisaclarke.net/2009/02/23/the-girliest-thing-ive-ever-made/#comment-21890). Gonna make some for my coworker's daughter.

    Thanks!
  24. Stacey :
    So glad I found you through Google! Wondering if I can link to your post on my blog www.sweetdaisydesigns.blogspot.com? I'm working on a different variation of the pillowcase dress, but your instructions are great! (LOVE all the pictures!)

    I was looking for a simple a-line dress pattern and found the website for "Design Mom" with a question about an a-line dress. "liz s" left an answer with a link to this site for a simple tutorial on how to make one from a pillow case. Since I know almost nothing about sewing, all directions online are confusing to me. I'll probably not make it even though everyone says it's so simple.
  27. Mary :
    Thanks for the great tutorial. I found you through Google. In an hour (with interruptions) I had a cute new summer dress sewn for my daughter out of a free pillow case. Can't beat that! Thanks again!
  28. Nicole Comer :
    I found you through google. I am having a dickens of a time trying to find cute pillow cases...any suggestions?
  29. Kathy :
    Thanks so much for this tutorial! I found it via Google and have made one dress and am now working on a second. I have one son but am making dresses for friends and nieces too!! For the above poster, you can find cute pillowcases at thrift stores, antique stores, and even walmart & target.
  30. nawna miller :
    If you can't find cute pillowcases just use 1 yard of your favorite fabric. Measure the width of a standard pillowcase and cut your fabric the same width plus a seam allowance. Follow the same directions for length except add enough for a hem. I just made 2 dresses alike for my grandaughter who is 1 and a great niece who is 16 months. I used a different embellishment on each one.
  31. Karissa :
    I love this...will be making one for my girl today, I will be making my own "pillowcases" because I haven't found any I like!

    This is one of the cuter pillowcase dresses I've seen! Thanks for the tutorial - yours was the first that came up in a google search.
  32. Amy :
    I found this through chikaustin's blog. I am going to try to make one in time for Easter. Thanks a bunch for the pattern!
  33. Carol J.U :
    Hi! I found you via Google earlier today while looking for an easy to understand dressmaking tutorial. I came across a few but found your instructions to be the clearest =) I am now totally inspired to try making some of those pillowcase dresses for my three-year-old daughter!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting the tutorial!!

    I wanted to thank you for this easy tutorial. This was my first project EVER on the sewing machine, and it turned out super cute! I already had someone offer to pay me to make one. :) I made a gameday dress for the University of Georgia, so I used a black pillowcase and added red/white ribbon to the top and arm holes and a big red button at the top of the dress. I love it! Thanks, again!

    We are going to make these to send to girls in Lesotho, Africa. Susan's Kids is filling a container with new and gently used clothes, shoes, books, school materials, hygiene items, etc to distribute to 8,000 children in 71 villages. Many of these children have never owned new clothes.I know the girls in Lesotho, Africa will adore these dresses that were handmade with love just for them.

    I goggled pillowcase dresses and found your tutorial. I am trying to make a circus themed dress for my daughters 5yr old party. found some cute fabric, now trying to decide what to do with it. This may be the winner!
  92. Anonymous :
    First of all this is not new to me, I remember when this was the rage back when my Mama made these for my younger sister who is now 62 years old and she made them from feed sacks, they were really cute back then too. I in fact made some then too. And the pattern is still the same I learned back then too. I don't know who started this dress pattern so many years ago, I know it been around a while because I will be 70th my next birthday. I also know there is some varietions of this dress now. I also made some of these for my daughters some 44 odd years ago. Boy how time flies.
  93. Ariane :
    I used your tutorial to make a little dress for my niece. Love your tutorial. Found it through google search.
  94. Anonymous :
    Your instructions are GREAT! I just finished the dress and it looks amazing. I didn't actually use a pillowcase, just flat fabric, and I added a band around the bottom hem of the dress.

    I love that these instructions have elastic at the neckline and not just the ties going thru the casing around the neck...seems like a choking hazard to me!

    OH I came across these by typing "Pillowcase Dress Instructions" into Google...yours was the 2nd or 3rd link.

Thank you so much for this super simple pattern! I love quick projects that look like a million bucks!
  102. Wendy :
    I made dresses just like this for my daughter 24 yrs ago. They were not named this but were just the same. She now has a one year old and asked me to make her a pillowcase dress. She was extra excited when I told her she used to have them too! Thanks for the refresher.

    I have a friend who wants to learn to sew because she saw these for sale online and the lady who makes them doesn't have time to ship one to her in time for her daughter's birthday. I said, "shoot, I can make that WITHOUT a tutorial and I won't charge thirty bucks," but with a tut, I can teach her and then she can do it herself. You are awesome for helping my friend this way! Thank yoU!!!

    I GOOGLED "pillow case dress" because I saw an article about making these dresses for third world girls, an organization called Dressed a Girl Around the World. I thought I'd get involved by going to an area church this week who is hosting a "sew party" for this purpose but wanted to get an idea on how to do before I go. Thanks for the great instructions.

    I just started sewing by making napkins for my daughter's Kindergarten class's snacktime. This was my first "real" project! I was a little intimidated, but I found answers to any questions by googling them (ie: what is bias tape?). I think I took about an hour last night & an hour this morning. It's cute, good for a play dress, and best of all it has given me confidence & inspiration to try more. Thanks so much!

    Ok. 'Got a problem.. I have searched for days! I just made 9 of these little suckers. Too cute, but I have yet to find instructions that tell me JUST how much to do. I have the dress down pat, but none ot the links give me what I want. I want to know how much to turn down for the casing, and how much to turn up for the hem. I went by the listings that said how long the dresses need to be, but I guess that I am so used to using a pattern. 'Just not used to flying by the seat of my pants. I am afraid that I may have them too short, but I did put a deep hem like a pillow case. Love, Love, Love your site! Thanks, debi
