Jennifer Thompson of Baton Rouge, LA is a working girl who just loves to sew. One of her passions is little girls and so she’s embarked on a mission to create unique, one of a kind pillow case dresses for children and dolls.

These soft, delicious and oh so cute and comfortable patterns will make any little girl feel loved and special.

Here are a few of her recent custom creations.

and here is one from her vintage collection (just adorable) :

My daughters are little fashionista’s so you can imagine their little squeel’s in delight when I open the package from Jennifer and these came out :

This one is black and white with polka dots, for my 4 yr. old daughter.     AND

This one is light blue floral with maroon silky ribbon ties and a white lacy bottom edge. This one is perfect size for my almost 2 yr. old daughter.  Here is how they look in the beautiful dresses and how excitedly happy they are with them :

They love them, and so do I. As a matter of fact these will be perfect to wear on them this Mother’s Day when we take the Gramma’s out to a Mother’s Day Tea! I cannot wait. The Pillowcase dresses remind me of Carrie Ingall’s on “Little House on The Prairie”. Jennifer does a wonderful job making them, and they are soooo reasonably priced. (Prices range from about $15 – $40, and about $8 for matching dolly dresses).

Here is some more info. about the Seamstress, Jennifer Thompson -

“I started doing it because I needed a little more money,” said Thompson, 39, who has been making pillowcase dresses for about four years. “I prayed to God for a pattern. I told him I needed something simple, and, when I saw this, I knew I could do it.” (from http://www.2theadvocate.com/features/42645592.html)

Thompson said she also likes to give her customers a bargain. Most dresses go for about $15, with those made from vintage pillowcases ringing up at $30.

Sizes range from youngsters 6 months to 10 years old.
