what can you do with a scrap?

Another thing I had to finish before Christmas were some little odds and ends for a fundraising event I got to be part of.  A group of amazing women have been meeting every week for months, working on some amazing projects to help destitute women and children in India (check out this post and this post for other projects).  Lately we have been working on a huge assortment of doll clothing and other crafts (all from completely donated materials) to sell at a Christmas bazaar, with 100% of the money raised going to help people in poverty.
It turned out to be an amazing event, and lots of money was raised, which was wonderful.  But today I wanted to share with you the one little "scrap dress" I was finishing up, because it turned out so cute I just may need to make one for Ailidh or Joy!

ruffles, ruffles, ruffles

oversized flower

a great color combination

and the ruffle pants underneath...

a little better look

the straps adjust and tie with a bow in the back

so pretty

 Here are some of the other things on display - don't they look mouth-watering?  If you are interested in actually getting to own one of these adorable things for yourself (or a little girl in your life) and helping impoverished people at the same time, check out New Life Frocks.
