out of a pillow case or a yard of material. Send the dress to her and she will foward it to the girl who started this. This girl goes down to Giana Africa and brings there dresses to all the little girls who are forgetten and have no dresses to wear. There is a video of how to make the dress and how to down load the pattern for free. I will provide the link at the end of this message. So anyone interesterd in helping little girls who have nothing? I am doing a few dresses to send. You can get more info at Nancy's site, Here is the URL Suzanne

I have been making similar dresses for little girls in Haiti. I feel so blessed to be able to help in this small way. I think I am working on dress number 35. They go together quickly.

Wow you are the best group ever!! I can't wait to do some and send them out right away. It touches my heart to do something for someone else and you see that huge smile on their faces. They light up like someone thought I was important and special. Kutz and Raels know what I am talking about, that feeling you get when you make someones day and your heart smiles. Suzanne

Thank you guys for looking at this and responding. I think it's important to do for others who are less fortunate. I am glad you think that way too. Can you just picture the little ones faces when they get a new dress? They must feel like they are rich, important and beautiful all because We are Blessed with a talent to sew and have big hearts. THANK YOU ALL! Suzanne

What a great idea. Haven't looked at Nancy's pattern, but it is easy to make I have made a few.(w/o patterns.) My daughter makes them quite often and sells the. I'll have to see if she has any that she can maybe send to Nancy's notion.... Thanks for sharing this. Also someone mentioned a great project for their church. I'm director of our Women of Worth at our church and I'm going to suggest it for them also. Thanks again.
