To make: remove the casing at pillowcase's open end. I used that to make the matching belt. Cut two diagonal arm openings from the two top corners. I cut 2" in from corners and down about 6 inches. Cut the top end open and hem down to make a drawstring casings (front and back do not connect). Thread soft cotton rope through to create the shoulder drawstrings. Then hem to dress or tunic length. You could also use the belt fabric to make matching shoulder ties instead of the rope.
