Dresses for Africa-Chapter project

The Maranatha  Chapter, in Ruidoso, is making Little Dresses for Africa out of used pillow
cases!  We are enjoying the fellowship of getting together for this creative project. 
Corners of the pillow cases are cut to make arm openings.  These pieces are used for pockets.  We add a draw string on top to tie in a bow at each shoulder and some lace.   Each one if different.  The opening of the pillow case has the hem with boarders.
Betty Mason found the pattern and organization that sends these dresses to Africa.  We completed a dozen at our first sewing party and are continuing to meet.
If anyone has any floral or pattern pillow cases, please send them to the Maranatha Chapter.  We take all sizes.

(If your chapter has a fun project to share, email Cindy!)
