I was excited to participate in this challenge: sewing dresses for girls in need. It’s a great way to use up pretty leftovers or small pieces of fabric. I was planning to do three, but I wasn’t counting on spending a week down with the flu. I’ve learned over the years that I love sewing dresses, but I never wear them, so this was extra fun.

Lovely dress, and great that you’ve participated.
Is this an event that returns each year? Next time I want to join to, I love to sew dresses but my girls don’t wear them anymore. I have enough stash to fill lot’s of closets.. 
For our Netherlands Members: do we have an event like this close to home?
It happens every year in September. The Project Dress A Girl group has an ambassador in the UK Project Dress a Girl 2026 – Inspired Leather There’s a similar faith-based group here that has some European ambassadors (the closest to you is probably France) There’s an international group here: https://www.dressagirlaroundtheworld.com/team-4-1 They’re faith based if that matters to you.

Super cute! I love sewing for this initiative. It’s a great palate cleanser project between more complicated sews and it’s a great way to use up those cotton remnants that aren’t big enough to make an adult garment but feel too big to throw out.
Hope you’re recovered from your flu now!
