Sew fabulous....

It arrived finally!!!   After a week spent in the RVH Hospital for Sick Children with my daughter, we got home on Thursday night, spent Friday night writing out measurements and today was the day for our sewing bee.   We had a brilliant day - in all there were 65 dresses made, of all sizes, for children in the fishing village of Pundaquit in the Phillippines.   With lots of fabric donations, materials donated and bought, about 100,000 calories worth of snacks, approx. 15 sewing machines and a mountain of enthusiasm there was no stopping the ladies of the sewing bee!
