Pillowcase Dress Kits for Dress A Girl Australia

Through the coordination of Erlyn Ballesta Sanchez, Dress A Girl Australia received 25 Pillowcase Dress Kits. Each kit included either a standard pillowcase or a piece of fabric the size of a standard pillowcase, bias tape, ribbon and buttons and/or lace for embellishments. Members of the Cenacle, Servants of the Lord and Espiritu Santo Parochial School each contributed to cover the cost of materials to make the 25 kits and members of the Espiritu Santo Parochial School were responsible for the actual preparation, creation and packaging of the kits. 

To complete the kit, Dress A Girl Australia provided each kit with a thread and a Hope 4 Women International dress label and will also be providing instructions on how to make the dress especially for those who are new to making dresses.

On behalf of Dress A Girl Australia, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the members of the Cenacle, Servants of the Lord and Espiritu Santo Parochial School for their contribution and a special thanks to Erlyn Ballesta Sanches for organizing and coordinating these activities. Your support to this campaign makes a big difference to this world and to the lives of each of the 25 little girls who will be receiving the dresses made from these kits. These kits would bring hope to the little girls around the world who deserves to own at least one dress. 25 big smiles on 25 little girls' faces proudly wearing a dress that each one of you made possible. Thank you from Dress A Girl Australia. Every effort spent on making these kits possible is very well appreciated. Thank you.

Ten of the kits will be sent to Lilia Ramos Tapia of CDO, Philippines who wants to help make dresses and once it is done, she will also distribute the dresses to the less fortunate girls in her location.  Pictures from her creation and distribution will be posted on this site once available.

Again, thank you for everything. It is people like you who makes Dress A Girl Australia's dream of helping the less fortunate little girls around the world possible.
