Dress a Girl Newspaper Article

Local sewing circles from the Payne County, OK area gather together weekly or mGlonthly to sew and make dresses for girls from impoverished areas around the world.  The local sewing groups are part of a larger group called Dress a Girl Around the World.  Dress a Girl brings hope to the girls with prayers and a new dress to help them feel a sense of worth.  

"The dresses send a message to predators that the girl is being looked after... someone is caring for them so they are less likely to be abducted by human trafficking and sold into the sex or self market," Gail Metcalf.

All dresses are hand carried to the girls and personally distributed with a prayer of hope.  They sent 196 dresses to Haiti with missionaries from the Glencoe Church of Christ.  The dresses included hair bows and cloth dolls for the pockets. The local sewing circles are Sew Sisters of Life Church.tv, Stitches of Love of the First United Methodist  Church and the Piecemakers of Glencoe.

Dress for Girls Around the World

Every girl deserves a dress to wear! Around the world many children live in poverty including in the USA.  With this thought in mind I came across this group,

 "ROUND THE WORLD TO SEW TO MAKE A GIRL HAPPY" on Facebook and decided to join.

  I am a seamstress and decided that some of my work should be able to bless some children.

Here is a group of lovely girls wearing their pillow case dresses.
They truly take pride in their dress which may be their only dress they ever receive. 

Here is my first pillowcase dress.

The main organization is called Dress a Girl Around the World.com 

 Feel free to read more about this group if you would like to offer your services too. 

 If you can't sew that take money donations too. 

 Patterns are included on the website along with short patterns for boys too.
