Anybody actually make your own pillowcase dress for DD?

I have been browsing online at all of the cute pillowcase dresses and it got me thinking: has anyone tried to make one on your own? If so, was it harder than it actually looks? Specifically the neck cut out?

I am thinking of hitting the clearance table at Homegoods and finding some cute pillowcases, cheap.

Any guidance would be great!

If you can sew and are handy then give it a try ~ there are a lot of sites that give you the patterns & directions etc

I think I wanna try it. What's the worst thing? It comes out ugly and I let her use it as a beach coverup?
