The Pillow Case Dress... Without the Pillowcase!!

Did you sleep ill last night -- tossing and turning over my big project reveal today?!? hehe no doubt ;)
Well, without further ado, here it is!
Yep you guessed it, it's an Easter frock for little Fern. And I added the little pocket rabbit during her 4.5minute naptime this morning. That's why one ear is ludicrously shorter than the other. No time for take #2.

The design is loosely based on a pillowcase dress, though I didn't have a suitable pillowcase, so I guess it isn't a pillowcase dress at all! Fern will model this dress on Easter, or possibly all of next week because let's face it, she probably won't wear it afterward!

What do you think??

ps. I have crafty projects coming out of my ears at the mo - this afternoon I raided the op shops and found some great vintage buttons for an artwork, we're making a whole stack of rabbit softies for the bubs in our mother's group for our Easter soiree, plus there are those damn chocolate Easter eggs I am committed to making. Not to mention painting my bedroom feature wall, and have I even mentioned I need to create a nursery at some point?? I am almost halfway through this pregnancy and am beginning to panic! Where will I find the time??

  6. Gorgeous little dress - was it hard to make? I have some pillowcase dress patterns bookmarked in the hope that one day I'll make one for Grace but my sewing capabilities are pretty basic. Can't wait to see a photo of Fern in her lovely dress x
