With so much happening at Dress a Girl No. CA, we decided it might be time to add a blog to our family. So welcome to Dress a Girl No. CA.
Who we are:
We are a group of volunteers who meet regularly to sew pillowcase dresses for girls around the globe. We are the Northern California arm of
Dress a Girl Around the World, a worldwide campaign under Hope 4 Women International, a 501(c)3 organization.
Where and when we meet:
We meet once a month for "sew fests" from September though June at Bayside Church in Roseville, CA. Times and places are announced in our newsletters and on our Facebook page.
What we do:
We are women, men and young people who work together to make pillowcase dresses for impoverished girls in third world countries, as well as here in the U.S. Volunteers bring their sewing machines, ironing boards, sewing tools and creativity to make our dresses. Finished dresses are distributed to little girls through missionaries and others traveling abroad to visit villages, orphanages, etc. We also welcome "Dress a Dude" to our monthly sew fests - these volunteers make shorts for boys (we don't like them to be left out!)
What this blog will be about:
We will post our events and sew fests, photos of recent activities, articles on sewing techniques and anything else that might inspire you to join in the fun of being part of DAG No. CA. Most posts will be linked to our Facebook page, Dress a Girl No. CA. So you can follow us everywhere.
Our blog administrator is Laurel, one of our regular volunteer sewists and contributors to our newsletter and Facebook page.
Sew Blessed,
The DAG NO. CA team
