At the end of May, ChAngels hosted our first Popsicles and Pillowcases party. At this party, guests went through a simple process of turning a pillowcase into a dress that would eventually be worn by a girl in a thrid world country. These dresses make the young girls happy but more importantly, they are thought to stop human trafficking, as these girls look cared for and would be missed.
Dress A Girl Around The World is a project started by Hope 4 Women International. They have given over 32,000 dresses to girls in 47 countries. Helping support this project made us all feel good because we were doing something nice for other people and we were having fun at the same time!

Helping support this project made us all feel good because we were doing something nice for other people and we were having fun at the same time!The party was fun for all and everyone was in good spirits. We made many pillowcase dresses, created by mothers, children, and even on supportive dad. We were especially excited to have our special guests - Deb and Sue - join us! They brought their sewing machines and most importantly their teaching skills, since not many of us were experienced or familiar with terms like 'notions' or 'bias.' We were so appreciative of their gift of time, talent and extensive rainbow of thread!
Thank you to everyone who came and made a dress or donated pillowcases or spare change for rolling! To all of you who couldn't make it, join us this fall for "Pies & Pillowcases" or try your hand at making a pillowcase dress this summer!
