“Children are our most precious natural resource. Through a child’s eyes war, hunger, and all other horrors of mankind cease to exist; if only for a short while. It does not matter how much your net worth is, or when the next bills are due. To a child all that matters are the stolen moments filled with love, and maybe a little imagination.” Appleshoe

Pillowcase Dresses
Hello, I'm back into blog land. I'm sorry I've been away for a while. Various health, house, and computer issues have kept me at bay; but I'm back now. Pillowcase dresses are adorable, easy, and also inexpensive to make. This past week I helped a young friend with a community service project for school. We made pillowcase dresses for young girls in Africa. She will be sending them to an organization called Little Dresses for Africa. LDFA is a non-profit christian organization whose mission is to provide relief to children in Central Africa. I was able to buy several pillowcases for mere pennies at the thrift store and had elastic and double bias tape just laying around my home to finish the dresses. There are simple directions on how to make pillowcase dresses on their website; just click on the link above. Whether your making them for your own special little girl or for someone else's special little girl far far away have fun!
