Thanks & Info on Pillowcase Dresses

Thanks to everyone on Thetis Island who donated their gently used pillow cases and sewing notions that helped my GG Trefoil Guild work with the Pathfinder Girl Guides and their leaders in Chemainus making dresses to be sent to young girls in Africa via "Disaster Aid, Canada".

Forty-five dresses were completed on Saturday. The girls learned about prepping and machine sewing. Additional dresses will be made and sent to girls in various needy areas.

A sample dress is on display at Forbes Hall.
