I've been sewing for 55+ years and never knew what a French seam was...Great Job Ellie! This is very well done with your monologue right before Ellie does it and I think I will be able to do this now. Thank you!

It is now Sept. in 2022. I love doing these dresses, however, your instructions do Not match how I have been instructed. The paper instructions leave a Lot to be desired. This is the first tutorial I have seen on how to actually put the dresses together. I wish the paper instructions were better. A wonderful concept to give girls a new dress around the world that have so little!! Awesome!!

Are only summer light weight dresses needed with no sleeves?

[@marieomara8025]

Am in Perth Australia how can I become involved?

[@kerryquigley6563]

i'm new at this website and want to involve a group of women to sew dresses. How do we get the label to sew on the pocket and where can we send our finished products.
