[Nfb-krafters-korner] pillow case dress

[Lindy van der Merwe]

Hi Joyce, when you lay your pillowcase on the table after you have folded it 
lengthwise, the cut you usually make for the armholes is sometimes referred 
to as a J cut since it resembles the letter J.
You are cutting through 4 layers of fabric at once. Starting from the top or 
neck of the dress, you will cut straight down forming the shoulder of the 
dress and then, move in a arc or curve towards the side seam.
