This fabric is bright and has an adorable gecko pattern... coming in several colors including the cream that I used for the ruffle, pocket and straps. Speaking of other colors I also made one in green...
Since the geckos are in several colors I had my choice of contrasting rick rack, lace and bias tape. For this dress I chose blue but I also have other green gecko dresses in the works with yellow, orange and red contrasts. After I finished these two dresses I decided to challenge myself with a solid colored pillowcase.
Purple was my color of choice and I decided to pair it with a white eyelet ruffle, pocket and bias tape... simple but hopefully special for a little girl! Next I used up the last of a sheet to make a
soft burnt orange dress...
These four dresses are going, along with sixteen others, to Cameroon. This is the first time that dresses from Washington have gone to Cameroon and I am sew excited to have Lois taking them in two weeks.
Thanks to all the people who have made recent donations. I was talking to one of my sewers this week and she said that she thinks she is addicted to sewing dresses for little girls. I have to agree that helping these little ones is sew much fun and yes I am also addicted!!
