Sew Along with Hopeful Threads

Have you stumbled on Hopeful Threads yet? This is a fabulous blog dedicated to sewing together to help others. Every month Kristy has a new monthly sewing project that anyone can participate in. I've wanted to participate for a while now but . . .well you know how it goes.

I'm behind on several projects and I've lost my sewing mojo. Not a fun place to be, but I've just been inspired by this this month's sewing project. Kristy is trying to sew 100 dresses for Dress A Girl Around the World. I was touched by her post and visited the site. I was even more moved, thinking of how many beautiful dresses my little girl has and all those sweet, little darlings out there that don't have any at all.

So I did it! I posted a note to Kristy and let her know I am in! Sewing mojo or none, I'm making at least two dresses!! Kristy is making one dress a week to donate, I'd like to say I can do that but I'm not sure I can. I'd hate to commit to something and not be able to follow through. But I know I can do two this month, so I've committed to that. I'm very excited about this, and about sewing for something more important than my own inspiration.
