Good for you and your friend who volunteers. The little pillowcase dresses are cute, but having grown up in the midsouth heat, I think Miss Lillian's dress design with the cap sleeves is a perfect design. Little shoulders get sunburned easily. I am part of a group that sews for Baptist Missions in the Congo, but we are more involved in sewing baby gowns and rolling bandages. A few of the ladies made these dresses last year to deliver to a lady who delivered them to a mission in South America.
How wonderful that Nancy Zieman has made these patterns available free, even giving after she has passed on. There are also patterns and instructions for making Little Britches for the little boys.
I saw an announcement on the news that the Ebola virus has reared it's ugly head again in the Congo, already claiming innocent lives. If I were independantly wealthy, I would be paying for water wells all over those villages and in refugee camps.
