It is the season of giving. Take some time to make a dress for a girl somewhere in the world -
a girl who doesn't have a dress.
Surfside Quilters Guild Philanthropy is participating in a worldwide project called "Dress a Girl Around the World" http://www.dressagirlaroundtheworld.com/ Around the world people who sew are converting pillowcases into dresses for girls who do not have a dress. The very simple pattern is available on the website:
Or you can dip into your fabric library and start with yardage instead of a pillowcase. Although a pillowcase with more tightly woven fabric might be more durable.
They have even come up with a pattern for "Boys Britches" made from a colorful T-Shirt. Of course, I think the girls should come first. But whatever you might decided to make you can contact the central office for directions on where to send your creations.
