Dresses on Display<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A group of Lichfield Soroptimists were among many women stung by the Great British Sewing Bee broadcast in April this year but when one of them saw a poster for \u201cDress a Girl Around the World\u201d they decided to \u201cdust off\u201d their sewing machines and sew.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Members of the club donated materials, clothes and bed linen for conversion into simple dresses. Meeting once a month the \u201cLichfield Sewing Bee\u201d had an initial target of 100 dresses but this has already been increased! To date, they have made 95 dresses, 30 of which have already been taken to an orphanage in Kenya with a further 100 destined for Burkina Faso in February 2014.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Apart from recycling unwanted linens into practical dresses for girls around the world the sewing group is also proving to be quite therapeutic with members chatting along to the hum (or buzz) of their sewing machines.\u00a0 SI Lichfield have shipped the dresses through contacts within their organisation to ensure their safe arrival and the girls from Children of the Rising Sun are pleased to display them.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
