the GIRL in the dress

a yard of fabric, less than a foot of elastic, some ribbon, 20 minutes and a prayer......

my new passion.  will it become yours?  maybe?  i hope so....

not because sewing is a favorite hobby of mine -- its the who that matters.  who am i sewing for i don't know yet, but i will meet her in june. 

i am part of PROJECT PILLOWCASE because of

the GIRL in the dress 

the GIRL whose mother gives her as payment for gambling debts

the GIRL who prostitutes herself just so she can go another day to high school

the GIRL whose mother left her at birth and has never returned to see how beautiful her voice is as she sings praises to JESUS

the GIRL who has never owned a dress of her own



do it for the GIRL in the dress.  after all without the GIRL it's just a dress.
