The pillowcase dress for a doll

Isabele has a sorry collection of hand-me-down dolls.  Some were mine, most were found in the trash at the high school by my dad.  Isabele took a dress off of one of my old dolls to put on one of the adopted dolls, however the dress didn't fit.  I decided I could probably make the adopted doll a dress from a pillowcase, like the one Isabele tried to put on the doll. 
Isabele and I went over to my mom's to see if she had any pretty pillowcases to donate to the project.  Isabele picked the one she liked best.

So here is the doll and the pillowcase.

Here's the completed dress.  Set in sleeves and all.

 

 

I think I finally mostly figured out how to get my sewing machine to make button holes.  Those of you who know me, understand about the button holes and my machine.

 

And another view of the doll in her finished dress.

 

 

Isabele posing with the doll.  I think she likes the dress, but as expected, she's not nearly as impressed with what I made, without a pattern, as she would be if she understood what I did in 3 hours.
