    I got an e-mail from Nancy's Notions & she had a box about Little Dresses for Africa. I was curious so I checked it out & now I want to make these too! It's a very simple pattern (free) & many sizes you can make depending on the amount of fabric you have. I have a lot of fabric that is dated but still very nice & it would make wonderful dresses for the girls in Africa. So if anyone wants to check this site out it is littledressesforafrica.org They have a list of states that haven't participated yet & the Dakota's were one of them. I'm thinking that may be this summer when I'm at the lake I may try & work on things just for all of these great charities that I want to help out. If I would quit checking all these new sites then maybe I would get some done but I keep finding more & more that I want to help. Knowing how all you quilters feel about these special things I thought you would like to check this site out.

    If you cant find it i did and i can email it to you so leave me a pm with your email address and i will send it to you. You can find it by hitting the tab more information then pillowcase directions then hit the highlighted section in the second paragraph not the first one the second one.

    I was able to get the pattern by clicking on the red X. This sounds a great project. Thx for sharing.
