#1. I didn't use a pillowcase.
#2. I only used materials/fabric I already had.
#3. I didn't use a pattern.
#4. I didn't take any measurements of my little girl.
#5 I had seen a few weeks ago a dress that my friend Bonnie W. had made for her granddaughter and I just went by what I remembered that dress looking like.
#6. Emily is much bigger than I thought she was. See?? The dress was a little snug on her.
And in case that one didn't bring a chuckle to your life, here's another shot.
Yeah, pretty bad. But it was my first time at trying to sew something other than burp cloths (click here to see that post.) So I'll just take it apart and make more burp cloths I guess. That is, until I get a dress making lesson from Mrs. Bonnie W! (or Kris J!)

still it was a good try.. sewing can be frustrating..
i love that you posted your dress making mishap!! i have about a hundred such attempts laying around and i just hide them, pretending they don't exist, waiting to cannibalize the fabric for another project, ha! and i love emily's face in these pictures, classic. :)
love it! It will fit a one of her babydolls some day soon! Mine turned out just the opposite--too wide. I didnt use a pillow case either, and just a rough pattern. I still made her wear it though :) Maybe someday I'll try again. I wish I was there so we could learn from Kris together cuz she rocks!
