Ladies and one man (my hubby) are not all skilled at sewing so I chose pattern from littledressesforafrica.org
that Nancy Zeiman showed. I said we should do something for boys so I made a size 4 and 8 similar to a pj pattern with drawstring.
For dresses -cut off pillowcase seamed edge, cut out armholes, decorate with whatever trim/lace , put pocket from scraps, make casing at top to put drawstring thru for long ties at the shoulders. Tack all drawstrings at center back so won't come out. Go wild with creativity.
Wouldn't get as many t-shirts in our area but sure had variety of sizes in pillowcases. Some flannel pillowcases will be made into pj bottoms. Even got 6 fleece cases which are to be used to make baby bunting bags--remember those?

I mentioned that I made a pattern similar to children's pj's.
I have made patterns thru my sewing yrs but I wanted to make these with no side seams just 2 pieces of fabric. They are sewn with serger from center front then up the center back.
Sew the pant legs as one seam and do a casing at waist for a tie. You can buy patterns this style.
