- In this video, I talk about Project Dress a Girl, an inspiring initiative dedicated to making dresses for young girls living in extreme poverty. I’ll share the process of creating these beautiful, handmade dresses, the joy of giving, and how these simple garments provide not only clothing but a sense of dignity and hope to girls around the world. Join me in learning how you can contribute to this heartwarming cause and help spread love, one dress at a time.

Thanks for sharing your adorable dresses for Project Dress a Girl. I love the beautiful colors. I plan to sew several up this year. One of them I will sew with my 6 year old granddaughter who loves to sew and also has a real heart for children in need.

YOUr dresses are perfect.. How lovely for some little girl to get them.. I'm just happy to see you each week or there abouts😄
Thank you so much 😊
Love your fabrics. So bright and colourful. Unfortunately I have to use fabrics from my stash but I am Sure some little girl will love it. I heard about the project 2 years ago and planned on making some but failed. This year I am making it a priority.
All of the fabric I used was from my scrap bin :). Thank you for joining in the cause - you will make some little girl(s) very happy 😀
I did not know about it, but then I also just learning to sew.

Just learned about this a few days ago. Would like to participate next year. I have a large stash of fabric.
It's not too late to participate this year - some of these patterns are super quick to sew up with scrap fabrics! But if you can't this year, that's ok :). Thank you for watching!!
Such pretty dresses, great choice of fabric. This is my second year, I made five pop over sun dress last year. This time I have finished four with six more cut out. All of these are for the size twelve as they mentioned they get fewer of this size. I also downloaded the Alisa’s latest pattern & will make a few of these. Re the pockets I always line mine & as you mentioned it strengthens them. Thank you great video.❤
Wow - you are so generous with your time and supplies to be making that many dresses! You are going to make some little girls very happy :)
Thank you for sewing the size 12 dresses! At Dress a Girl Tucson we always have so many requests for the larger dresses!
I had the privilege of being on the vlogging logging tour. Your dresses are so cute.❤
You had me cracking up with your downloading of bags rationale.😅😅😅 Have a blessed week! 🙏
Thank you so much Zelda! I'll go have a look at your video!!
Hello Michelle, I was thinking about you today. I miss seeing you but understand how life works 😊 I hope you and your hubby are doing well. I look forward to the next time you put a video out. Wishing you and your family a beautiful holiday season 🌺
Hi Renee! Thanks so much for checking in - that's so sweet of you! We are doing well. I just needed a little break. I'm working on some ideas to come back soon :)
I always do the double layer patch pockets too. They don't stretch out the way single layer pocket. Plus trying to iron over the edge. Is stressful
Agree!! 😊💕
Lovely dresses! Project Dress A Girl is such a feel good thing for me. I combine it with my love of thrifting... it's amazing how much donated quilting cotton I find during the year. Thanks for the smiles 🥰
That's a great combo Diane! I'm a fan of thrifting as well but I don't go as often as I'd like. I never seem to have luck finding actual fabric. I find fun printed sheets and great linen tablecloths though!
Michelle, you have such a great eye for stylishly matching colors and prints together. Not everyone is able to be as adept at this. What a great gift. I love color! Super cute dresses! 🥰 Bernadette
Hi Bernadette! What a wonderful compliment! That really means a lot to me because I LOVE mixing prints and colors 💕. It means so much when someone appreciates it. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend!!
I made Alisa's 2024 dress this weekend.
Isn't it adorable? I love those pockets!
I love the Popover Sundress and have made several for PDAG 2024.
It's my favorite "go to" pattern!
I just heard of it on line on you tube
I hope you were able to participate :). If not, there's always this year!! Mari just released a video on a pattern free, quick and easy little girls dress - you should check it out!
