Smocked Pillowcase Dress

 Pillowcase dresses are fun to make.  It’s good to change things up a bit though. For this one I decided to add some smocking,  





Because of the limited width of the pillowcase, the smocking has to be loose.  This will prevent the top from being too tight.



 

The smocking was done on the front and back of the dress.
I used satin bias binding to make the ties and neaten the armhole.
 I could smock, using the correct tension for the stitches because I used fabric which was wider than the pillowcase.
