This is the
dress I made for the Joplin project.
I had the
choice of sewing a dress for 5 year olds, 7 year olds and 10 year olds. From
my experience packing shoe boxes for the Operation Christmas Child, most people
would choose younger children. Being
mindful of this fact, I chose to sew for a 10 year old girl.
I went to the
craft night with the floral fabric and without a T-shirt. Unfortunately, when I got there, they were
all out of girls’ T. The event
coordinator had a few boys’ T for me to choose from. And, fortunately, there
was this mustard color T that matched my floral fabric perfectly! Praise the Lord! It all worked out.
One little
thing that I did not consider was the amount of gathering for a size 10 3-tier
skirt. I was gathering like crazy! At the end, I took the dress home to assemble
it. Before the night ended, I thought something
was still missing from the dress. So I
stenciled a strawberry (to match the floral print of the skirt) on the T with a
bit of sparkles.
Really pray to make a
young girl smile on her 1st day of school.
