My room is a scruffy mess with scraps of fabric, threads and bags all over the place.
The outcome of all the crafty action ...........
Two sets made with some of the lovely stuff sent to us by P & G of Woodside fabrics.
Below are some made from stripey fabric that I dyed in a Tulip red dye along with some sheeting to match. The fabric was navy and white originally but Annie and I found it gave us migraine and nausea to look at it - weird!
That's why I dyed it and I think the result looks pretty good.
There is still lots left so I shall think up a few more combinations.
I love the sweet pea design don't you?
No desk to snoop today - I will tidy up ready for next week, honest.
Right over to Julia's desk to see how tidy she is this week and then to see what you have all been up to.
Have a happy Wednesday!

I imagine you are blaming M for all your mess, bless her. I'm sure she would come and tidy up for you if you asked....it would give her something to do while she waits :-)

Such pretty dresses today, (not that they haven't all been!). Hope you get time to show your desk next time... messy is no excuse here...
Such pretty dresses and a wonderful cause! Go girl!
Are you ever going to want to see this dress pattern again once you are finished? It's such a generous thing to do how many more are you hoping to make?
Lovely dresses! :) I bet there will be lots of happy little faces. javascript:void(0):)
These dresses are all beautiful I bet there will be a lot of happy smiling girls when they receive them. Well done to you for such a brilliant cause xx
These dresses are SO cute - just as little girls should be dressed - I'm just a traditional at heart! Enjoy WOYWW!
That sweet pea fabric is delightful, so pretty - great combination with the checked material btw :D Been meaning to say, I love that photo at the top of your blog! xx
You are a meany... we like mess, it makes us feel better about our own. Your latest creations are fab and I notice how from a basic dress you still manage to make them all individual. there will be lots of happy little girls in Africa soon.

Gorgeous dresses - and the sweetpea fabric is super! Love the way you used some for pockets :)) Hapy WOYWW!! Di xxs
Cute dresses!
Hi Jo,
It was good idea to dye the Navy striped fabric, it looks great dyed Red especially if it saved the strain on your eyes at the same time. I have to agree, the Sweet Pea dress is really pretty and I wouldn’t be surprised if the little girls argue over who has that one.
I’ve still not managed to get the post office with my material but hopefully it will be on its way tomorrow.
Happy Crafting!

Yowza! That is quite a few dresses there - I'm sure they didn't mean for you to dress them all yourself :) But there will be many happy little girls from your hard work!

Those dresses seem to be more and more beautiful each time you make them....wouldn't it be wonderful to see a recipient modeling one you or your sister has made.xx
Thanks for coming to look at my mess! It's my first WOYWW ever! Next week I'm hoping for a clean neat desk...yeah right!!
Your dresses are beautiful!!!

What gorgeous dresses, I'm sure the girls will love them. Thanks for sharing!
Oh they are delightful. You make me wish I could sew!
Thank you for visiting me.
Happy WOYWW
Hugs, Sandra (no. 66)
Gosh you have been busy. I love the way each dress is just slightly different - that will be important to the little girl that gets to wear it. What a fab project.
Thanks for sharing. Jumbleberries xx
Lovely dresses. Those girls will look pretty as a picture.
Those truly are gorgeous! I love that sweetpea design and I can imagine little girls running about in them and putting secret things in those adorable pockets.
I wish I lived near you....I'd come by to tidy it up for you just to see the little dresses up close and personal...
and today I could even bring along some chocolate biscotti...I'm 'perfecting' a great coffee/chocolate one...
All fantastic little dresses. Who would think that the navy and white could look so transformed. your output puts me to shame. Off to do some more unpicking! hugs Mrs A.
Hi Jo
Thanks for popping over to visit my blog today. I am blown away by all the dresses you are making, what a wonderful thing to do. They look so pretty too, it sounds like you have been ingenious with the fabric. I'll pop back when I have more time for more of a browse.
Have a good week

Seems we're all a little messy or behind with this post. Totally love the colors of all these dresses. You no doubt can sew these in your sleep. It's a great thing what you are doing.
Suppose to be an early freeze here tonight so covered the plants etc. Warm up next few days. It was 50 today but I loved it. Enjoy.
Once again, I think you are dressing the entire known world with these little dresses. Very impressive. You should get a reward. Happy belated WOYWW.
Don't tidy on my account - you know I won't even notice - too fascinated by all that you're doing. The dye worked really well on the navy stripe...certainly helps you fight the feeling that you're being hypnotised!!
Hi there Twiglet had to fly past the post above with your incredibly yummy looking slice - I am sure I will put on a kilo just longingly looking at it...:D and do I really love your little dresses for the little orphans well done you and no wonder your room is scruffy messy! God bless, Shaz in Oz.x
WOW! you've been a busy bee! Adorable frocks for sure! Popping by from POP ART MINIS via WOYWW...better late than never! Awesome Blog!
great dresses and all the extra love that you two put into each one! Sorry I am so late getting by this week but I wanted to pop by and visit your blog to say hello and to see what you are up to! Didn't have the time to post(except about newest Doswell addition) or craft the past two weeks due to being in Virginia visiting with the son's family to see the newest granddaughter born. Definitely a fun time none the less. Hope you have a great week. Vickie aka okienurse
Amazing - you two deserve some award for what you have done and are doing. Those dresses are fantastic.
Thanks for sharing and thanks for visiting my blog. Hugs, Neet x
No wonder your workspace is a mess, with all the little dresses you are churning out! Love the sweet pea ones!
Happy very belated WOYWW
