Pillowcase Dresses for Peru


I made this little dress yesterday while waiting for potatoes to bake. Many of you will remember my dress drive last year. I want to take a few more with me this year to Peru , just not quite as many.  
Thank you to those who have already sent some!
It all started with this photo of fellow team member in Guatemala. I knew if I went again I wanted to bring some with me!

In Bolivia I got to hand them out personally to the little girls I met. 
I remember this little girl very vividly. She was living in the village that only had contaminated water. This was one of the water well projects your money contributed to!

In a few short months I'll be heading to Peru and would love to distribute more dresses. If you want to make one or a few, I'd be thrilled!

Click HERE for many links to directions. I found Nancy Notions to be the one I liked the best.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity!

  4. Lori, you certainly have accumulated some amazing memories of your trips. I think the dresses are another great idea for Peru. I'll try to get at least one done... and maybe give it to you in person??
