Dresses for Charity

This morning as I was browsing the blog-verse I got diverted to a lovely post by Louise at Sew Scrumptious about a charity campaign to provide dresses for girls living in poverty. Louise is encouraging her readers to get involved and has offered to bundle up and send off any dresses she receives by the end of May.

I don't know whether it was the gorgeous sunshine or just the fact that I've been feeling very lucky to be me lately but I really liked this idea. I have plenty of fabric and what better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than at the sewing machine. So I offer you pics of the two dresses I came up with, based on the pattern from Little Big Girl Studio. Both use recycled fabrics (another bonus) and ribbon that I got in a bulk lot.

Multicolour floral cotton and mulberry cotton fabric with pink grosgrain ribbon.

Green sari fabric with gold satin ribbon.

    Hi Jo, Thanks so much!!! That is fantastic. The dresses are gorgeous! I am very impressed with how quickly you made them too. I need to get on and make mine!! I will email you my address. I will blog about them when they arrive with a photo and a link to your blog.

    Thanks again.

    Really glad I could help out, Louise. I can't think of many things more rewarding than doing something to help a child - and all little girls should get to feel special.
