More Dresses from the Women's Shed

There are more dresses coming from the members of the Women's Shed of Tamworth. And another group in town called The Australian Sewing Guild of Tamworth also committed to doing some. Both groups see this campaign as a very worthwhile project and are happy to assist according to Betty Priest. Most of the materials have been donated by the sewers themselves and the craft shed and they have dedicated sewers in the group. Recently I made suggestions on how they can raise money for postage to lessen the financial burden of the cost of sending the dresses to Sydney. Here are a couple of dresses on their way to Sydney -

And here is a picture of the Craft Shed of Tamworth.

The craft shed is various craft enthusiasts coming together sharing the costs of power, rates etc. via membership fees and commission from sales of members work.  

If you happen to go to Tamworth, dont forget to drop by the Craft Shed. There might be something that will catch your eye.

Donation Acknowledgement FY13/11 #165 - From the Womens' Shed of Tamworth Regional Craft Centre

Number 165 is a parcel of 12 dresses from a newly formed group in Tamworth. The group called Womens Shed is involved in various art and craft and social events for women in the Tamworth area and the group is within the Tamworth Regional Craft Centre. Betty Priest on behalf of the Womens' Shed members wrote that the Dress A Girl around the world project has been seen by them as one with a genuine wish to assist our sisters and their families in areas that are not as affluent as Australia so they will try to keep sewing for this project and send more as they are completed.  Here are the 12 dresses they sent -

To Betty, thank you so much and please extend my wholehearted thank you to all the members of the Womens Shed. Thank you for your support. It is so much appreciated.
