Here's one I found doing a search for 'directions pillowcase_doll'.

I've not heard of the magazine. According to wikipedia, it was rolled into Make magazine which is published by O'Reilly Media. You might want to contact them to see if back issues are available.

our daughter was baptized catholic later,when she was 13 and i had a cute infant style gown made for her from my wedding dress.it had boufant shoulders and lace and bows on the front and one big bow at the waist in back.the gown was knee length and i did a crinoline under it to make it poofy.i also had a bonnet made for her with the remaining material that matched her gown.she wore lace anklets and white slippers.to make her even cuter,i got a pair white rubber pants off a website in teen size and had ruffles sewn across the back of them.they looked adorable on her under the dress and she was so precious and innocent in her outfit on her baptism day.when she made her first communion at 14,i did the ruffled rubber pants under her communion dress,
