Getting Ambitious

So, I've been seeing pillowcase dresses in all of the baby stores for $50 and I kept saying to my friend that I could make those for a lot cheaper. They're not lined and they are 1 yard of fabric and a few hems. Today I went to Hobby Lobby (where there is a great sale) and picked out some fabric. I am super excited because they will end up being less than $7 each, plus some blood, sweat, and tears!
The fabric on the left will be two dresses, one for Livee and one for my niece. For Livee I will do the floral on top with the stripe on the bottom and for my niece I will do the polka dots on top with the floral on the bottom. The two on the right are for Livee. Check out my cute ribbon too! I will be sure to post pictures of the finished products!
This fabric is for a no-sew (tied) blanket for Livee. I plan on having her name put on the zebra side in hot pink to match. Hayden has one of these blankets (in blue and white) and we have used it a lot, so I thought I would make one for Livee. I've already cut it and it's ready to take to be embroidered. Then I'll just tie it up. Super easy, cute and cheap!!!

I'd never heard of pillowcase dresses before, but I looked them up, and they are super cute! These fabrics will be so pretty.
