Dress for Girls Around the World

Every girl deserves a dress to wear! Around the world many children live in poverty including in the USA.  With this thought in mind I came across this group,

 "ROUND THE WORLD TO SEW TO MAKE A GIRL HAPPY" on Facebook and decided to join.

  I am a seamstress and decided that some of my work should be able to bless some children. 

 Below wearing the pillowcase dresses that many people make and send to the children in need.

Here is a group of lovely girls wearing their pillow case dresses.
They truly take pride in their dress which may be their only dress they ever receive. 

Here is my first pillowcase dress.

The main organization is called Dress a Girl Around the World.com

 Patterns are included on the website along with short patterns for boys too.

Here Comes the Bride

Spring and summer brings the spotlight of the season to brides. I love how pretty the brides look on their wedding day. Those beautiful flowing gowns and the accessories they wear.  Bridal showers are important too.  With this in mind I decided to create lovely bridal accessories from special occasion aprons to wedding day accessories.

This lovely white crisp bridal apron is great for the bridal shower,

 reception or everyday wear after the wedding.  

What ever time the bride decides to wear her white apron is appropriate. 

 Just slip it on over your outfit and you will become the blushing bride over and over again.

White lace and ribbon cuffs are the perfect accessory to the brides wedding day look. 

 They have ribbon ties in the back to fit all size wrists.

Victorian inspired choker necklace adds lace and elegance to the brides wedding ensemble

Matching choker necklace with two wrist cuffs.

Bridal hair facsinator for the bride who doesn't want the traditional long veil but a simple short elegant one.
