Here's another creative way to reuse an old pillowcase: Turn it into a dress for a little girl. A drawstring casing is created around the neckline, making the dress adjustable for a growing child. Add ribbon or bias tape for the straps and some rickrack for decorative flair. If you're feeling brazen enough to cut up antique linens, Sew Beautiful has printable directions on making an heirloom version (PDF), festooned with ruffles and puffed sleeves, for your tot to flit about in.

Have more castoff pillowcases to spare? Stitch two of them into a fetching grownup nightie, so you don't feel left out.
