Dress a Girl Around the World By: Carly Carper
What I did to create my project. • Found all the materials. • Began practicing my sewing skills. • Finally began to sew the actual dresses. • Sewed as many dresses as I could.
How It Worked • First, cut the edge of the pillowcase approximately 2 inches from the edge. • Next, sew a gathering stitch on the raw edge. • Pin the gathered skirt to the bottom of the t-shirt. • Sew around the top of the seam.
What I Did With The Dresses • Dress A Girl Around The World Foundation • Girls all around the world, but mostly in Africa, will receive the dresses
How this “stretched” me • I had no sewing skills • Made me put myself in other people’s shoes • Made me realize how hard some actually have it
What I learned • How to sew • How people in other countries live • How to help people • How to organize a major project
