Sending the pictures of the little dress I just finished and sent to a little girl whose house was completely fooded in the Brisbane floods. They lost everything. I also sent a new doll complete with extra clothes for her. The little girl is 3 1/2 years old.

I mostly make a covered hanger to match any dresses I make for children. Seems to be a trade make I have developed.

It helps use up the scraps as well.

Very pretty dress and wonderful thing to do. It reminds me of the dresses I used to make for my daughter and granddaughter when they were young.

Right down to the matching padded hanger! You are the BEST! Great fabric choice too.

That is so cute, she will love it.

beautiful little dress for a precious child. She will love it and the doll. Thanks for caring.

cathyvv 01-17-2011 08:37 PM

That dress is just darling! Reminds me of my youngest when she was little. She loved dresses and told me she couldn't wait to grow up so she could wear a dress everyday! At 27, she has a closet full of dresses...a small closet, but it is full none-the-less.

The little girl will love the dress!

QweenBee 01-17-2011 08:38 PM

Very Pretty, did I notice the matching hanger too? What a great touch! :thumbup:

What a kind & caring thing to do! I love the dress. The fabric is perfect. It is just gut wrenching at the devastation from the floods! Thank You for sharing.

Wonderful little dress. Your work is wonderful as is the gesture! Great job! :thumbup: :-D :thumbup:

Rose_P 01-23-2011 09:42 PM

It's a treasure, and 50 years from now she may tell her grandchildren about the wonderful thing you did for her at this time. I know because I have a cousin in her 70's now, whose family house burned down to a total loss when she was a child, and she still talks about the wonderful things that people did to help them out.

Vintage Bicycle 01-23-2011 09:44 PM

So sweet - what a kind heart you have! I'm sure these gifts will mean more than you know!!!

Pickles 01-23-2011 09:50 PM

What a sweet Lady you are , she will be thrilled when she gets these gifts. My DM use to make me dresses just like this one and it's one of my dearest memories still. :D
