Teaching Youth to Make Dresses

Emily works with the youth at Living Word Lutheran Church and she is trying to help them understand about giving to those in need and making an impact in the world.  She decided that Dress A Girl Around the World would be a good way to help her students.  Emily came to my house to learn about the campaign and to learn how to sew the dresses.  It was a pleasure to meet her!!

And here is her first dress!!

I can't wait to see the dresses that those students make!!

Charity Sewing Event

Last Friday Stray Threads Quilting Guild had a charity sewing day.  They are very active in giving to several groups including Camp Cory... while we were there they tied two different quilts that will be going to campers this summer.  They also invited Dress A Girl to be there and share about our campaign. Several ladies took patterns and some sewed dresses at the event.

In the past this group of quilters has given us fabric and trim and bias tape to help!!

They are a very generous and friendly group!!

Thanks sew much Stray Threads!!

WACAP Brunch and Fashion Show

 Thanks to all the wonderful sewers that made this possible!!

WACAP, an international adoption group, had a beautiful Mother's Day Brunch in the Spanish Ballroom at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel.   During the brunch they had a fashion show featuring Dress A Girl Around the World dresses.  The girls walked the runway in honor of other girls awaiting adoption.  All of the dresses in the fashion show will be heading to Africa this week.

Dresses for India

On Monday eight ladies met at Northshore Baptist Church to sew dresses for India.  I had already made 12 t-shirt dresses and we added 8 more to that number.  We also sewed 18 cotton peasant style dresses.  The dresses that go to India need to have the shoulders covered... so we went with these two styles.  We will meet again in June and finish up... making a total of 50 dresses that will travel to India in October!

Thank you sew much ladies!!

Dress A Girl Well Dedication

On their recent trip to Uganda the Dress A Girl Team dedicated the first Dress A girl well.  The women walk miles a day carry water from dirty sources.  It is hard work and dangerous.  They have actually had children drown in water sources and the water is contaminated.  But clean water changes lives!!

From the Beginning to the End

A few months ago I received 3 boxes in the mail!!  The were all from Alice and her Sunday School class.  These girls... first through third grade... decided to do a pillowcase drive at their church.  They were allowed to make their announcement in church one Sunday morning.  They made posters and shared about Dress A girl Around the world.  And here is the results!!!

And here is the first dress made from these pillowcases!!
