27 dresses

I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am feeling for all of you that helped out with the first project.  It all started as a little idea with the thought that someone out there might want to help.  Well, a lot of someones answered my call and stepped up to the challenge.  To spread a little handmade love for kids that might not ever receive such a gift in their lifetime.  Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you.  From the bottom of my heart.  Thank you for taking the time to make such beautiful clothes.

The dresses/tops/shorts have officially left Austin and are now on their way to the Pan de Vida Children’s Shelter in Mexico.  There were 27 dresses/tops!  Twenty seven.  2. 7.  Also, there were four pairs of shorts.  I was hoping for maybe five dresses and I would probably make four of them. But you all stepped in and made a huge difference.  Thank you so much.

I packaged them up in a vintage Samsonite suitcase and off they went.  Prayers for the group going to the shelter for safe travels.

I put in a request to try and get pictures of the girls in their dresses.  Let’s keep our fingers crossed that this will happen.  I truly hope I can show you all exactly where your dresses went.

Update:  Photos were taken of the girls in their dresses.  I will share them as soon as I receive them!

‘Tis the season for spring dresses.  Project 2 is in the works!
