A quilting friend who also goes on dental missionary trips to Africa told us about a need yesterday. They have been making and taking pillowcase dresses for the little girls. They found that one item that was greatly needed were long wraps that the woman can wrap around their babies on their chests so that they can carry them with their arms free. They can then work and farm with their babies strapped to their chests. There's a name for this wrap but it escapes me. Anyway, you cut 3 yards of fabric in half lengthwise (20" by 3 yards long pieces) and hem them. That's it. Any charity that takes items to mothers and children in Africa will know what to do with them!
