Sewing for Good: Project Yesu Pillowcase Dress Drive

While hopping around the internet, I came across Project Yesu, a charitable organization dedicated to providing food, medicine and education to children in poverty stricken Uganda.  It was founded by an amazing young lady named Mallory whose heart is as big as her ideas.
Mallory is currently collecting pillowcase dresses to bring to girls in need when she visits Uganda this summer.  

If you would like to participate and make a dress, you can mail it to:

Project Yesu
c/o Rory Fundora
1178 Willow Bend Drive
Clarksville, TN 37043

All completed dresses must be received by May 31!
All sizes are needed and you can use any fabric or pattern that you like.

Here's my first dress to donate...

It may be a simple looking dress, but it carries with it grand wishes for a healthy, happy future.  I hope it brings a smile and some hope to a little girl who's far away on a map, but feels close in my heart. 

Maybe you can send one, too?
