this year a lady at my work discovered a charity called little dresses for Africa. they send , mostly simple pillowcase dresses to Africa. so my co-worker asked any of who wanted to participate to make a few dresses to send to the charity for Christmas.
the dresses were super simple to make, and don‘t take up much fabric, (about a yard ) so I was able to use fabric I already had. they have a tutorial on how to make the dresses on their website. I ended up making 5 dresses, and in all we made 20. and yes we did get the dresses to them before December 1st, I'm just slow at posting things.
mine of course all had to have pockets because how can a child collect treasures with them? and well I just love pockets.
here are the five I made
and here are all 20 getting ready to be packed up to send them.
