Dress a Girl Around the World By: Carly Carper
What I did to create my project. Found all the materials. Began practicing my sewing skills. Finally began to sew the actual dresses. Sewed as many dresses as I could.
How It Worked First, cut the edge of the pillowcase approximately 2 inches from the edge. Next, sew a gathering stitch on the raw edge. Pin the gathered skirt to the bottom of the t- shirt. Sew around the top of the seam.
What I Did With The Dresses Dress A Girl Around The World Foundation Girls all around the world, but mostly in Africa, will receive the dresses
How this “stretched” me I had no sewing skills Made me put myself in other people’s shoes Made me realize how hard some actually have it
What I learned How to sew How people in other countries live How to help people How to organize a major project
