Mexico

Hi Everbody,
Sorry for not blogging for a while, my summer has been really busy.In early July my mom and I are going to Mexico as some of you know, to work with orphans and also we will personally be able to hand deliver the dresses. Our goal is to sew 75 dresses. Please keep us in your prayers as we prepare to leave.

It's Growing

Hey Guys, just thougt I'd let you know that Dresses of Hope is expanding to a few states. One of my friends heard about what we were doing and got inspired to launch a dress ministry at her church in St. Louis. This summer she is going on a mission trip to work with orphans in Kenya and is going to hand deliver dresses that she made to the children. I also just found out that a lady in our church has told her mom who lives in Florida, about it and is going to make dresses for Dresses of Hope and ship them to us.
Wow, what a blessing!!! Thanks to all of the people who have given contributions and sewn dresses for Dresses of Hope. Your hard work is greatly appreciated by the girls that will wear them.

Our 3rd Shipment of Dresses

Our friends delivered the dresses to Haiti recently, however they were working in the medical clinic instead of in the clothing distribution area of Lifeline. They didn't get to hand out the dresses, but they did manage to snap a picture of one of the girls wearing a dress that had been made. Here it is, check out her smile. Keep posted for a future sewing day in May!

More Dresses are Going to Haiti

Hey everybody, just wanted to let you know that we are sending more dresses to Haiti on Friday the 5th. We are sending the dresses with our good friends that will be going to Lifeline Christian Missions. We're shipping around 90 dresses. This is our biggest batch of dresses sent to Haiti so far. Please keep Haiti in your prayers.

Dresses and Skirts

For the past few weeks I've been thinking about making skirts for the woman in Haiti so I talked it over with a few people and now we've started making skirts. They are super easy and are extremely simple but pretty to make. We all so found out exciting news to day that a very good friend of our family is going to Haiti on March 17 and would love to take dresses and skirts. if need instruction on how to make skirts let me know.

How Many We've Sewn

We have made 130 dresses total since November 2009.

This is so cool because we started out making about 2 dresses a week and now with the help of all of the seamstresses we have made 130 dresses!!:)Thanks to all who have sewed and donated for Dresses of Hope. Your work is highly appreciated by the girls wearing the dresses.

116 YARDS of FABRIC

Today we went to the fabric store in town, Rader's Fabric, and they donated 116 yards of fabric!!

I'm soo thankful to God for how he has blessed Dresses of Hope and for the generosity of the owner of the fabric store. My mom and I've already made 6 dresses out of the fabric. This is a true gift because we were really in need of fabric and then boom, we get more than enough fabric to clothes 116 kids that are in desperate need of clothes. Keep sewing and we'll send more down to Haiti very soon. We already have 38 dresses done.
