Well here goes!

I thought that I would set up a little blog area in which to post my progress as I make and send dresses to this brilliant cause: Dress A Girl Around the World.  The idea behind DAGATW is to make pillowcase dresses to be sent to children who are not fortunate enough to own their own little dress. 
Working in a school this cause struck a chord with me and therefore i was determined to get sewing and hopefully perfect my new sewing skills along the way!

I have asked many people to donate unwanted pillowcases and material so I am able to make and send dresses to lots of beautiful little girls across the world.  Here is a picture of all the collected pillowcases and material awaiting my needle, thread and embellishments in my steamy sewing room!

To date I have made 5 dresses with one more almost completed.  My aim is to make a lot more before packaging them up, so that I can take advantage of the postal costs.  Unfortunately I only have one picture at the moment but more will follow so please keep your eyes peeled for any pillowcases that you have donated.

Right off to sew a little more before bed time.

Good night and thank you for reading and tracking your contributions!
