Dress Distribution #102 - Project School Starter Distributions - 06/2016
Today I am opening a new project for Dress Distribution #102 - School Starter Distribution schedule for distribution in July 2016.
Since this collection is for school-aged children, all dress sizes should be between the age of 8 to 10 (Size 8 to 10). If you are donating clothes for boys, sizes of t-shirts and/or pairs of shorts should also be between size 8 to 10.
There will be a maximum number of dresses that can be donated to this distribution due to a limit in the funds that will be used to pay for the cost of distribution.
For individuals, a maximum number of 6 dresses will be allowed.
For groups, a maximum number of 20 dresses will be allowed.
If you want to donate more than what is allowed, a donation of a gold coin ($2.00) per dress is needed to help pay for the cost of distributions as the parcel becomes more heavy.
Make sure that the dress guidelines are met and no flimsy materials are used. If you are using ribbons, do not use ribbons that are meant for gift-wrapping. I do not do repairs so please make sure you follow the guidelines.
Cut-off date for donations is Friday, 15th of July 2016.

No active projects as I am currently on a break from distributions and not accepting dress donations. I am focusing my time on getting well and finding ways to raise funds to support this campaign for the year 2016. I have no sponsors and the only way for me to sustain this campaign is to find ways to raise funds. With no funds I cannot accept donations as I cannot afford to pay the cost of distributing dresses on my own. (Please read "New rules for dress donations effective 01-Jan-2015")

Today I officially open my latest special project called "Brimming with Love Australia". This project will be providing fabric hats to the Liverpool Cancer Therapy wellness centre to share with patients undergoing chemo treatments.
I finally received an acknowledgement of my request to use the Milly's Tie Hat pattern today for my next special project from Brimming with Love(Laura Griffin). This is how the hat would look like and made of 100% quilting cotton.
This is the pdf file of the pattern which you can download. Just click on the link below -
Also, if you are donating and when you are ready to send yourdonation(s), please send me an email at dressagirlaustralia@gmail.com so I can provide you with a postal address as to where to send your donations.
For the first delivery, the cut-off date or deadline of donations will be at the end of April or Sat, 30th of April, 2016 so make sure you have posted your parcel before this due date.
Please make sure they are of topnotch quality so the recipient will be very happy to receive and wear with dignity. They have to be made of 100% cotton and nothing else. I would like anyone who is donating to make them filled with love, hope and compassion and not just make them for the sake of donating and telling people that they donated one. Thank you.
