Dress A Girl Around The World
Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 11:58 PM 
Ten days from now I'll be celebrating a BIG birthday. One that warrants a whole month of celebrations. The first party was a couple of days ago when my sewing chums gathered at Dixon Hill for something rather special.
Dress A Girl Around The World is a charity that believes every little girl on the planet should have at least one pretty dress. In order to make that a reality, they encourage folk to stitch up simple pillowcase dresses which are then taken to parts of the world where little girls have no dresses at all.
In a couple of hours on Thursday, we whipped up TEN dresses - the four you see above and six others which are almost finished. We're planning to titivate them with patch pockets and appliquéd flowers etc. I promise to show you the whole line-up when they're complete.
It delights me to think that ten small people might have smiles on their faces just because it was my birthday. I honestly can't think of a better way to celebrate.

Oh how I LOVE this! The idea is so fantastic ~ and so simple! ~ and the fact that you made it part of your birthday celebrations just makes it even more amazing.
A wonderful idea. You must feel very happy to know 10 little girls will have a party dress. Hope you have got yours
