    I learned about Project Dress A Girl this February. I began sewing a few weeks later, and have donated several dresses via my local group, Sew Generosity, during the sew alongs held at a local Jo Anns here in Southern California. To date, I have made 106 dresses. I am sending 7 today. I am most excited that the Project Dress A Girl videos led to many others, and my You Tube "friendships" have multiplied. I am most excited to help little girls who truly appreciate having a new dress.

    Hi Mari,
    Brenda from Conquering Mt.
    Scrapmore recommended your RUclips Channel. I don't have an Instagram Account and currently dealing with a broken arm, so I cannot start sewing on dresses yet. Watch for my participation in 2024. Bless you for your global compassion ❤

I’m not sure if I’d have the time to get my sewing area back together in time to stitch a few dresses this year, but I wonder if you make the same size dresses every year? I want to bring this up to my quilting guild as a project for next year. Thank you for your time. Fingers crossed for 4.5k + dresses this year!

    I've sewn 15 dresses for the month of September. This now makes 23 dresses total since I started in August. These will go to my ambassador in SW Missouri. I got started after I watched the Sound of Freedom movie. Wondering what I could do to help these little girls, I "just so happened" upon the Dress a Girl project. I was all in. I can sew. And these little girls need dresses - how hard of a decision was that? (It was a "God-thing")

      You can have a knit bodice but the skirt must be woven.

    Hi Marie. Do you have any suggestions for dress patterns with sleeves for modesty?

    • @MariSews
      @MariSews  10 месяцев назад

      Sorry I missed this. Many by people have been making dresses using a long sleeved tshirt for the bodice. You can also try adapting a long sleeved pattern by substituting out zippers for ties

    Hey Mari! Thank you for again heading up this very worthy charity event!!! Your efforts are truly appreciated by those who join your efforts, and by those little girls who benefit from our donations. I started making dresses late last year and have 6 that are ready to ship. I had hoped to donate 12 for 2023, but that wasn't to be. My question: I may have missed it, but what's the size limit or size ranges for the PDAG dresses? I had thought that dresses up to a girls size 16 were accepted last year, but I heard on another video that size 12 was the limit this year. Some confusion about this. Please let me know. God bless you! 🥰🙏🏻

    • @MariSews
      @MariSews  Год назад

      They use to go up to 16, but the size has been dialed down a bit since these girls tend to be a bit more petite. But no worries! Donate those dresses!!! We will find a home for them ❤️

    • @SewAndTellwithDori
      @SewAndTellwithDori Год назад

      Thanks for clarifying, Mari. I don't have any dresses in the larger sizes, but wanted to confirm. Was wondering about the petiteness of the girls, due to nutritional deficiencies in some countries. All good to know!@@MariSews

      @kindredcreativecorner6927 editing this response. I’ve thrown away many donated pillow case dresses that were entirely sheer when worn and they’re often an inferior quality and will be destroyed too quickly. I really don’t want to have to justify the decision behind this request from Headquarters so it would be nice if everyone could adhere to the rules. This event has grown so large that making exceptions has become difficult.

    My first time participating, and I want to be sure I’m doing everything correctly. I ordered the labels and have watched the dress pattern video. My question, which may be a crazy question, but I always wash and dry fabric prior to sewing it. Is that permitted or should I just cut it out and sew? This is a wonderful project and I’m excited to be a small part of this. Blessings, Linda
