The Pillowcase Dress is so 2004, don't you think?
Actually, I absolutely love pillowcase dresses, but that's a story for another time!
Back to the point: I was doing some blog-hopping a few days ago and I came across this: a tutorial for a girl's dress made from two dishtowels. It was so cute, I knew that you frugal readers out there would love to read about it! Really, all it takes is two dish towels, some thread and a spool of ribbon! The author even used dish towels she bought for $1 each at Target!
I can hardly use a sewing machine, but I'm 99% sure even I could pull this off!
Sorry I don't have images to illustrate the adorableness of this idea, but I haven't actually made them yet, and I'm not about to use someone else's photos. So, click here and see the dress for yourself!

I'm so going to try this! At this price, they can have a couple dresses for every holiday… and I won't feel guilty about what I spent on a dress that they can only wear that one time 😉 Thanks!

I hear you on wearing clothes only once! Spending $3 on something that adorable works for me!
