What could be easier than making a pillowcase dress for an 18-inch doll from a tea towel (see yesterday's tutorial)? The only thing I can guess would be winning one in this week's giveaway. This ecru dress with soft green ribbon ties features delicate embroidery and sweet butterfly trim. To enter, simply leave a comment below. I will announce the winner next week.

I made a pillowcase dress following your tutorial (from last year, I believe) for my granddaughter. It turned out so pretty. Took lots of pictures with her modeling the dress at the beach a few weeks ago. I admire your creativity!

I love the American Girl pillowcase dress and would like to be entered in your giveaway.
My mom made me a pillowcase dress from your tutorial and I love it so much we are making another one. It would be so much fun for my dolls to have one, also.

These are just adorable! My daughter would love this for her doll. Thanks!
Love your website! Just stumbled upon it from Stone Gable's On the Menu. What a gift you have for hospitality!
My daughter also loves the American Girl dolls. Unfortunately, I can't sew a lick! I think I need to direct my seamstress friend to your site so I can get some of those precious outfits your daughters wear. Thanks for sharing your talent!
Melissa, The dress is beautiful! My granddaughter Bella will love to dress her American Girl Samantha doll with it, for our next tea party. Thank You for the opportunity to enter in this giveaway. Your blog is beautiful, very creative and inspiring. Thank you for all your great ideas.

That is precious. As a mommy to three girls ages 2,4 and 6 I love to visit your blog for inspiration. My girls would love to dress their dolls in that precious gown, although I am thinking it might actually be precious on a newborn. We are expecting although we haven't found out yet if it is another girl or a boy!

I would love to win the little dress, but I think I would love getting a few of your mom-in-law's beautiful tea towels just as well! I have a few old tea towels and hankies bought years ago to make collars, etc for our daughter and couldn't bring myself to cut them up! I may have to make a dress or top for our 2 year old grandgirl though!
I want it! I want it! Pick me! My Emma is just now discovering the American Girl dolls and is desparate for clothes for her. She has one outfit. She got her doll passed down to her from her older sister and is in desparate need of a fashion makeover. I can't imagine anything more lovely than this fabulous dress which would also double as her wedding attire for a September wedding where Emma will be the flower girl. She has perused assorted websites and searching for lovely garb for her new found affection. Fingers crossed! :) -Ashley
OH what I would do to be a little girl at your house! This tea-doll-dress is adorable, I'd love to win one! My two little grand-daughters will be playing with dolls soon! Heidi
Thanks for the chance to win this beautiful dress for an 18" doll. It is gorgeous! If I win it I will have to buy an American Girl doll to go with it, and put it in my grandbaby hope chest!!!!
Oh how precious! Crossing my fingers......
Love reading your blog and seeing all the prettiness.
Would love to have that little dress for my granddaughter Michaela for her American Girl Doll.
Thanks for the op.
So sweet! I'm wondering where you purchased the tea towels?
Thanks for sharing such a great gift idea for little girls.
What a cute idea. Love your tea parties
Found your blog awhile ago when looking for a "how to" on pillow case dresses - so glad I did! I mostly lurk - but love it! :)
This dress would be perfect for the American Girl doll my daughter is getting for her birthday!
That is one very sweet dress! Thanks for the chance to win it!
Precious.. my best friend's little girl would LOVE it :)
Sophie needs a dress like that to go with the pillow case dress my grandmother made for her using a pillow case made by Sophie's Great Great Great Aunt Maggie.

What a beautiful doll dress and I have been enjoying all your lovely posts!
Love your blog. My DD would love that dress for her dolls. Thank you for the chance at winning.
I am so inspired by your blog! I have it saved in my favorites. I love the dress you made and would love to have it for my grandaughter. She has my daughters Samantha doll. Thank you for sharing your blog.
I have sewn vintage pillowcases into dresses for babies and toddlers for years. It's my signature sewing for christenings when I use a linen pillowcase with a machine embroidered monogram. So..I will make your pattern into a dress for my SAGA Chapter American Girl doll raffle this Fall. Thanks for the tutorial. Oh, and I would love to win this dress as well. Susan VH
Would love to win this for my 8 year old! She would adore it! Pardon my ignorance, but what is a "tea towel"? I am going to go on a hunt to find some next week so when my daughter returns from camp we can sew together!
Beautiful! They remind me of the dresses my mother used to make me as a little girl! Where did you purchased the beautiful polka dot napkin????
I love it! You are so talented!
wow! Can't believe you would part with this beautiful doll dress! Love it! We have an American Girl doll that would be proud to wear it. :)
Keeping my fingers crossed!
That is some doll dress!
OMW! this is Gorgeous! I can imagine this perfect color on one of my daughters, too bad its for a doll!
Such a fun giveaway!!!
I love this dress- especially the beautiful ribbon on it. Great fabric, too.
My 7 year old Reagan would absolutely ADORE this dress for her doll!!! It would be a perfect fit for her American Girl Doll she'll be getting in the near future.
My two daughters have spent numerous hours this Summer playing with their dolls, clothes,and props. They even had fun washing their doll clothes outside in a tub on a hot day and hanging them up to dry with mini clothespins.
I know they would love the surprise of a special dress for their dolls.
Thank you for inspiring us and I do hope you can speak up East sometime soon!
This dress is gorgeous!!! And your pictures from Freed are beautiful! It really is a pretty campus.
So pretty!
Precious dress! It looks vintage... love it!
