Please get the dresses, shirts or shorts to me before the end of the month.  They will be hand delivered to the shelter the first week in March.

You are all such wonderful women and are making such a difference in these children’s lives.

I really hate the thought of some girls receiving shirts and dresses and other girls not.  Breaks my heart really.  If there is anyone out there that is thinking about participating, please leave a comment and I’ll get you the name and size of your girl immediately.

Remember, if you are participating, the dresses, shorts and shirts need to be mailed by the end of this month.  They will be hand delivered the first week of March.

What a difference you all are making by spreading a little hope.  Thanks to those of you that answered my last minute call for help.

bias tape cheat

Some of you have asked about the bias tape instructions in the pattern.  You can cheat and just buy bias tape instead of making your own.  I cheat.  The above picture is an example of a dress I made using bias tape.

If you are interested in finding out specific sizes that are needed, please let me know.  I should be getting the list in of sizes for the children pretty soon. If you are participating in this first project, I have emailed you the list of sizes.  Please select what child/children you would like and let me know.  I’d like to be able to have something for all of the children so no one is left out.

Again, thanks for all that you are doing to help the children in the shelter.

If you are interested in joining our cause, simply leave a comment.
