Here are a couple of vintage pillowcase dresses I made. They are going to Olivia.
I'm sorry, but I don't think I have time to write up my method for sewing these dresses, but these links will lead you to some great tutorials. For the second dress I made it kind of a bubble style by creating a hem and then inserting elastic. I sewed the elastic together and stitched up the opening.
