Why Mexico?

Some people have asked me why our next project for Dresses of Hope is going to Mexico.

Well, this summer a group from our church, including my mom and I, are going to spend a week at

orphanages in Monterrey, Mexico. So we thought it a great opportunity for us to give them the dresses. I can't wait to go!!=) Aren't they beautiful?

What a Blessing

One of our friends is a very talented seamstress and she heard about Dresses Of Hope. She wanted to donate fabric, so she came by this morning and dropped off LOTS of pieces of bright and cheerful fabric. It was such a gift from God and will now bless lots of little girls around the world.

These pictures were taken in Uganda by a church that made pillowcase

dresses for the girls. Aren't there smiles priceless? I can't wait to see our

dresses actually getting worn by girls in Haiti.

Where Are The Dresses Going?

Well the dresses that we're making are going to Haiti this coming January. The deadline is January 7.
Next we are going to sew the dresses for a orphanage in Mexico or for a orphanage in Ethiopia Africa

Merry Christmas

I hope you have a very blessed and joyful Christmas!!

A dress does make a difference in a little girl's eyes

Every week my family gets newspapers from my parents home church, southeast Christian Church. Yesterday when we got the newspaper on the front was about a mission team that traveled to Sudan and made the pillow case dresses for the girls. It is so amazing how one little dress can make HUGE difference in the eyes of a little girl. If you are interested in reading the article go to www.southeastchristianchurch.com and search Sudan mission trip and at the bottom of the page it will say"A pillowcase that shows somebody cares."

The Dress Project

When I started making the dresses I wanted to reach out to girls in poverty that didn't have hardly any clothes. Dresses of hope is currently working at a goal to send 60 dresses to Haiti this coming January. The dresses are a blast to make, they are simple but adorable when you add embellishments and only take 30/60 minutes. Here is an easy patteren just for you!
