4 hangers, 5 different pillowcase dresses on each. Total 20 dresses, sizes from 4-10. Going to orphanage in Haiti. Been working on these for a while, they go in the Christmas boxes that will be shipped in Oct. to arrive for Christmas. 50 boxes for girls and 50 for boys. My church ships these , Other ladies will also be making some.. All fabric has been donated to me and I purchase the tape, the elastic and thread/Lillian

They look so pretty and such bright colors. I'm sure they will be loved and worn. That is very generous of you to make and ship these.

Thank you I just make them,my church pays for everything else we put in the boxes except for what is donated,like one family buys 100 toothbrushes(nice ones) so goes to ea child,it's amazing what all you can get in 1 of those shoebox sized plastic boxes Of course ea box is wrapped with duck tape to keep the lids on. Church also pays for shipping which costs $7.00 a box. No liquid can go in them but a lot of things go/Lillian
that is wonderful Lillian. I am going to have to check & see if our church does anything like this too

Lillian , you are busy girl. These all look so good. I know you worked hard. I had a children's shop owner ask me once if I made them and I said no. I knew she would have bought them from me, but I just did not want to buy all the fabric when I had so many other things going well. How much time does it take to make one? Kay
1 comment
Actually Kay I have never made one that I didn't have to stop and do something else several times but once you get your fabric ready,cut and pressed,everything together and sit down to sew,you could probably get one done inside of an hour.I do French seams for each side,or I try not to have raw edges anywhere. Have to make sure ties are sewn on real good. A lot of these are washed in creeks by slapping on rocks, the only place they have running water is at the school so I make sure nothing will fall apart on them.

Martine, it truly is a labor of love. Have seen videos of them opening their boxes and that smile is all you can see. These children have almost nothing.. Lillian

Your are not stealing my dear friend
We are not affiliated with Samaritans Purse but it is the same thing we do. Samaritan is a much much larger organization and does a wonderful work every where and need all the help they can get. You cannot go wrong to help them.

I just finished a little pillowcase dress for our community baby shower. Yours are lovely and when I see a child on t.v. I will always be wondering it she is wearing one of your creations. Hard to dress thousands but starts one at a time--God Bless You.

First of all, you are one terrific woman to make all of these lovely pillow case dresses. I love how you made them "fancy" so they don't look like a sack with tie straps. You coordinated the fabrics and colors and made them so special with embellishments. The girls receiving these beautiful dresses will be so thankful for your kindness and love. We have friends that just returned from their church sponsored trip to Africa where they dug wells. They go each year to different places and come back with the most remarkable stories. In so many of the small villages the family must pay each year for their child to attend school. Cheerful givers like you, Lillian, is what the world needs more of. Bless you!
