Very inspirational. A group from our Grange in Northern California has had its first Little Dresses for Africa sewing session. A suggestion to all you dressmakers: add one or two patch POCKETS to your dresses. It takes only a little more time, but it will allow girls to free their hands to explore their worlds. Besides, they are pretty if you choose a contrasting color or print. For instance, a solid blue dress can have a blue print pocket or a solid pink pocket. Add a little ribbon across the top if you want to get fancy. the pocket can match the seam binding: e.g. blue dress, green seam binding, blue and green print pockets).

I am from TN. I saw Rachel’s LDFA last year. I used her idea to start a project for the Appalachian Mountain children. The poverty level there is three times higher than anywhere in the U.S. We felt charity begins at home. Thanks to Rachel’s LDFA we have had much sucess with our project It gets very cold there so we make warm clothing and pc dresses. God Bless
