Project Dress A Girl 2025| Sewing for Charity
September will be here before you know it! That is when Project Dress A Girl goes into full swing! 2025 is going to be a great year.
As many of you know, I am an Ambassador for Dress A Girl Around the World. I love to participate in project dress a girl created by my friend Mari @marisews | Inspired Stitches on YouTube. Her enthusiasm for this special project is hard to resist. Mari works very hard to put a vlogging tour together for your entertainment. Vloggers showing you tutorials and sharing all their tips and tricks. Of course the Live unboxings of all your beautiful dresses. The sewing community goes above and beyond every year.
If you love to sew for charity and want to give it a try. This is what you need to know. Listed below is the dress specifications;
The dress style should be able too pull over the girl's head.
Dresses need to be made out of a woven fabric preferred natural fibers such as quilting cotton.
The dress cannot be sheer or see thru. You can Line the dress.
Stay away from white fabrics. Fabric prints NOT accepted are prints with words, Disney characters, religious, patriotic sayings or symbols are not accepted.
NO pillowcase dresses, they are to thin and sheer.
