It has been 6 months since I discovered Dress A Girl Around the World, and my desire to help this organisation has not faded.
Infact, in the last 6 months I have posted 6 parcels to Gigi- the organiser based in Sydney.
In total those parcels have contained 45 shorts and 112 dresses!
That is 157 children I have helped dress, and I could not be prouder!

Winter AND summer skirt!
When I saw this piece of fabric in the remnant bin at Spotlight, I knew it would be fantastic for a skirt!
So at $2 a metre I grabbed the piece that was there (and wouldn't have been much more then a metre, however I can't remember exactly now)
I wasn't sure WHAT type of skirt I wanted to make out of it.
But as soon as I found this tutorial on Sweet Verbana, I KNEW it was perfect, and got to work the next day!
(only difference with mine is I wouldn't just fold and sew, I had to cut and make sure both piece has the right side facing out as my fabric had a very clear front and back)
I think it is perfect over tights with boots for winter, and I am sure I will wear it in summer as it is a lovely weight fabric.
I am now on the look out for some more fabric to make this style skirt from.
