Kristen shows how to make a simple pillowcase dress. We'll bring these to Ethiopia for the Little Dresses for Africa ministry.

Here's the finished pillowcase dress. They're really easy to make, and quite cute. With many hands helping, we plan to bring dozens to Ethiopia when we travel.

Lots of time and love went into making these little dresses for Ethiopian girls--37 dresses total!

Back in August, I stumbled across a website called "Little Dresses for Africa". I was excited about the opportunity to allow my girls to put their sewing skills to use to bless others. I spread the word at our church and had a clinic where I taught ladies how to make these simple dresses.

Over the past few months, my sweet friends and their daughters have made 37 of these dresses for us to take to Ethiopia!
