Do you need pillowcases already made? or can you use the fabric? Let me know for I have plenty of both! PM me your address if you are still interseted? This is a great challenge and I know you will do a super job!!

You can make them out of regular pillow cases or fabric. You can go to this site:
www.littledressesforafrica.org./b log/?page_id=19
you don't send them to me. You send them to Nancy's Notions in BeaverDam, Wis. She is the lady who is on TV with a quilting program. You can go to her web site and she will tell you what to do with them. She then handles the packing and shipping to Africa. I think its a great way to help out innocent children and follower what our Lord commanded us to take care of the least of us. They also are making them for Hatti where the earthquake was a year ago. I have 12 made that I am shipping to Nancy's and the next batch I will make for Hatti. I went to the Salvation Army and bought all the pillow cases they had at the time and they were only 50 cents for a pair. There is a pattern on the site I gave you for how to cut out the pillow. Thank you. Hope more ladys help out.

One other request. If you aren't making these little dresses, maybe you can donate some of the notions needed to make these. It takes almost a whole pkg. of bias tape for one dress besides the elastic needed for the dress. If anyone has any bias tape taking up room in your sewing room, that you would like to donate to help me making these, I would really appreciate any donation. If you have some to get rid of, PM and I will give you my address. Will post some of mine that I have ready to go. Thanks all who sew or donate.
