Dress a Girl Around the World

Valerie and I are taking a little break from our Skype Sewing Dates while she is working hard on another project. You know, just opening her own clothing shop, no bigs.  So during her visit to Colorado the weekend before last, we got my mini sewing machine out and went to work like old times, but in real life, which was even better!


Val asked her family for any extra pillowcases for our project, and they mailed 16+!  And all sorts of decorative patches and buttons and rickrack.  A lot of love went into these dresses, from many.

We prepped everything over her weekend visit so I could take them home and add the finishing touches.

Here are our sweet little dresses:


The pillow case dresses are for the Dress a Girl Around the World project, a non-profit organization that sends little dresses to girls in Uganda. We couldn't be happier to give back while doing something we both enjoy so much... Sewing!
