Where do I find a pattern to make a doll out of pillow cases?

My late grandmother, hand embroidered 2 pillow cases, that are just sitting around. Several years ago I seen some rag like dolls made of pillow cases. I would like the embroidered part to be the “pretty” part of the dress. Can you help, with pictures etc?? Thanks

i used to make these dolls. they are a great keepsake. the pattern posted by the person above me isn’t a bad one but after looking at it i perfer the McCalls pattern. i looked at their website and it is no longer in print. i belong to a couple of yahoo groups where people post sewing and crafting items for sale. i would ask for the pattern on one of these groups.
