    OK, now you all know how to make the pillow case dresses. When you are thru making them for your grandaughters, make a couple extra and ship to Nancy's Notions in Beaver Dam, Wis. and then they are shipped to Africa for little girls. You can go on line and look it up under dresses for little African girls and pattern and directions on sending them to Nancy's. I went to Goodwill and bought all the pillow cases they had at the time and made 15 in less than a week. Good cause and helping alot of less fortunate children. If you have any questions, PM me. I challenge you all to make at least 3 dresses. Look at the difference this would make if you all did just that little bit for the less fortunate. God bless you all. Take care of his little ones.

    Sorry but I don't know how to make the dresses. It looks like it would be easy but there are no directions given here. Anyone have directions?

    I made my granddaughter a dress out of the lady bug fabric also. Just beautiful. I am making them (8) pillowcase tops for the big egg hunt on the 30th of April. Also making daughters, sisters and favorite daughter-n-law table runners by the 15 minute pattern. (took 1 1/2 hours to do the first.)

    Google "Dresses for little African girls" or go to Nancy's Notions and her site will tell you how to do them and a pattern.
