Good Timing for Pillowcase Dresses!

Right after I wrote my last post about vintage pillowcase dresses, I read something on a blog I follow and decided it WOULD be a good time to sew a few and see how it goes! The blog is Real Hope for Haiti Rescue Center, and I encourage you to check it out.

They are asking for donations of--get this--pillowcase dresses! The dresses are perfect for the orphanage because they're light and breezy.

I decided it's fine time, then, to start on some vintage pillowcase dresses. If you purchase one from Sugarplum Boutique, your purchase will also include a handmade dress that will be sent to the orphanage in Haiti! I have a couple friends lined up who have a heart for orphans and are great sewers who are willing to sew the donated dresses. Thanks, ladies!

Once I get some pictures and more information ready, I'll hopefully be able to take some orders this week! I'm a little nervous, honestly, because I know not everyone is "into" vintage or appreciates it. :) But I hope that there are at least a couple buyers out there, considering the double-whammy of helping orphans--the purchase going toward orphans/adoption in the first place, plus the dresses that are going to the orphanage!

So stay tuned!
