Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Children

Style: Cute, Whimsical


Materials

Fabric, embroidery

What was your inspiration?

I wanted to design some simple dresses to donate to a charity in Lusaka, Zambia.

What are you most proud of?

I managed to design about 12 different dresses . Also a group of women got together to make even more dresses to send to Chikumbuso a safe haven for widow, their children and orphans.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

If you're new at sewing, start with a pattern that indicates easy to sew. Also purchase fabric you really like, then have fun.

Nancy's Notions has free dress patterns similar to mine. Then modify the patterns with a border and you will get the same dress I made. Go to Little Dresses for Africa dress patterns.
