First Shipment to Little Dresses for Africa

Today I am mailing 3 dress to Little Dresses for Africa thanks to Irene, Katherine and Britteny of Garden of Beaden and a fourth that I made.  My goal is to double the number of dresses (and add shorts for boys) in our next mailing. 

If you would like to become a part of our effort to assist Little Dress for Africa in bringing hope to the orphans of Africa contact me by leaving a comment here or at dgunn43[at]aol.com or go directly to the Little Dresses for Africa website for more informtaion.  And you don't have to be a seamstress to help you can provide material, supplies or money for shipping.

I can't wait to see the next batch of dresses and shorts!

Little Dresses for Africa

My mom and dad call me at least once a week to keep in touch...today my mom told me about her latest  project--"Little Dresses for Africa".  I checked out their website...this looks like a wonderful opportunity for those who sew to touch the life of a child and to spread God's love.  You can check them out at http://www.littledressesforafrica.org/blog/.  The pattern on this website starts with a pillowcase, for patterns with fabric yardage go to http://www.nancysnotions.com/text/pdf/LittleDressesforAfrica_pattern.pdf.  Remember to use cotton for the dresses, synthetic fabrics are too hot.  They can also use shorts for the boys.

Send me pictures of the dresses you make and I will post them here.
