Today we have Elizabeth, half of the lovely pair over at Simple Simon & Company. I got to meet both of these girls at Snap, which was great because if you follow their blog, you know that they’re sort of infamously picture averse – so I know what they look like! And for the record, they are both beautiful. They are also the talented team behind Project Run and Play and Project Sewn. 

Hi, everyone.  I am Elizabeth, one half of the duo of sisters-in-law who blog at Simple Simon and Company.  One thing I love to make every summer are some pillowcase dresses, number one because they are easy summer-wearing and they be dressed up for a 4th of July party or even thrown on top of a swimsuit….which is the perfect dress for summer.

I have made quite a few versions, all of which are fast and easy sews….but still look cute.

And this year’s version is a similar to last year’s version with a simple shape and the added detail of the Flutter Sleeves.
To make the dress you are going to follow the pillowcase tutorial here and then jump over and follow the Flutter Sleeve tutorial here.
I did add a bias tape belt to this one, just for the picture, but it is a cute dress with or without the belt.
Thanks Melissa for having us here today!   Have a wonderful weekend everyone….

    Hi Elizabeth, I do like the sundress you made – I am wondering if you have ever made this pattern in a women’s size…
