Well, I got the last of the dresses packed into the suitcase this afternoon. As I stuffed them in there, I felt a pang of guilt for undoing the work of those ladies that had so carefully ironed all the wrinkles out during our Sew-A-Thon in May. But if it's any consolation, I did pack the dresses in those vacuum bags that are supposed to reduce wrinkles....
The ladies at LPCoC (and friends) made a grand total of 120 dresses for the little girls in Africa! They are all so beautiful and I can't wait to see the faces of the little girls in the villages when they put on their brand new dresses. I promise to take lots of pictures. I wish all of you could go with me to see it for yourself. Each of the other 10 people will also be taking a 50 pound duffle bag filled with dresses as their second piece of luggage - so I estimate that we'll be taking @1200 dresses to Africa with us on this trip.
