Pillowcase Dress


And No it is not made from a Pillowcase. I was looking at some boutiques and things last night and saw pillowcase dresses and noticed the price was not what I was willing to pay. So, I decided I would try to make one. So i went and looked through my fabric and found this gorgeous big print that I have been holding onto for awhile, like 4 years. So I made my own pattern and went to town. It did take a little bit to figure it out,because I had never worked with binding before let alone making my own binding, but it turned out pretty well. I may start selling them in my store. www.pretties4princesses.etsy.com but it will probably be a week or two until i get them up. Here is a picture.

Organization

I think being organized is very important, and I have been very lax lately on putting things away neatly. Yesterday while I was at Micheals (I am there probably twice a week) I noticed that all of their baskets were 50% off. So, I was able to pick up some really cute cloth type baskets for $6.50, I purchased six for my laundry area as well as three for my office. So today is the day to start getting things once again organized.
