This was sent to me by Elizabeth over at The Silver Scrapper's Craft Space. As you can see it's full of lovely pillow cases to make our little African girl's dresses with. Elizabeth was bothered about them being so plain but as you will have seen in other parcels we have had lots of gorgeous smaller pieces of materials that will trim these up to perfection so thank you very much Elizabeth for sending us them.
Yesterday I managed to finish all those b****** curtains I had to make and clear my heaving 'to do' rail of all my customers sewing [and there was a lot] and before the end of the day I managed to make my dress number 61 . This was made using some of the fabric Tammy sent us and I have to say it was gorgeous fabric to use and it is my favourite one. I really love the colours so thank you for sending such lovely material for us to work with Tammy.
Lots of you have asked where the little dresses were going to and I've promised as soon as Louise put photos up on her blog I would let you know. This morning Louise has posted the first set of pictures of little girls wearing some of the dresses over in an orphanage in Malawi so please pop over and check them out. The joy on the faces of those little girls is what make our efforts all worth while.....so you keep sending me any spare pillow cases/bedding or material and I promise we will keep sewing.
