Little dresses

R met a new little friend at ballet who shares the same first name. We went over for a play date last week and the mom showed me some adorable dresses she was sewing for her daughter and her nieces. They are called pillow slip dresses because you could literally use a pillow slip to make them - they are that easy! Well, I decided to try my hand at this sewing business. I found instructions on the internet (ignored the part about the bias tape and the surging because I don't really know too much about those terms) and just "winged it". It was actually very easy and turned out okay...this one is just way too big. It will fit her better at about age 6! I also made a lavender coloured one for a friend's sweet new baby girl. I plan on making some more to send here: http://www.littledressesforafrica.org/blog/. Check it out - it is an organization that helps girls in Africa. It started out with the goal to send 1000 dresses to Malawi, in Central Africa and has since grown to distribute 35,000 dresses to 10 different African nations!
