Thanks to Farrah Duffany of MyRecordJournal.com's article and video news report on Dress a Girl Connecticut, this ministry has gone viral! The Associated Press picked up the article and it has run in a viral manner throughout New England in major and local newspapers! It still continues to run a few weeks later! I have been completely overwhelmed and swamped with calls, emails and requests to help from all over New England!
You can view the article and pictures here: MyRecordJournal.com-Dress a Girl Connecticut.
In addition, I have been contacted by the owners of an upscale store in West Hartford Center about partnering with them to celebrate girls and women! Two big events are in the works! What a blessing this is!!! I don't want to go into details yet as we are still solidifying plans but trust me, it is REALLY big & exciting!
I have been contacted by so many people! Everyone wants to help! So wonderful! We really need more help and here are ways you can become involved-even if you can't sew!
DONATE !!!
We need PILLOWCASES of all sizes and colors. We just ask that they not be see-through!
We can use lightweight cotton and cotton blend FABRICS in larger pieces. If you are/were a quilter and have fabric left over, we'd love it-just no tiny pieces please!
Pretty, patterned, colorful TOP SHEETS make a good starting place for dresses. Please NO white sheets. We'd have to dye them first...
DOUBLE BIAS TAPE 1/2" wide in all colors. This gets quite expensive to buy-however- it is easy to make if you are interested!
3/8" BRAIDED ELASTIC white or black works.
GROSGRAIN RIBBON in any color 1/2" to 1" in diameter.
GALLON zip-lock bags (any brand) for packing the dresses in for shipping.
June Tailor DARK T-SHIRT TRANSFER PAPER for label making.
CASH !
Always needed for purchasing supplies and shipping dresses!
DONATE TIME & SEW!
