Feb 2026 – Dress A Girl Around the World
One of ASG’s national objectives is to use our sewing skills to create items that help others – community service. At this Zoom meeting, scheduled to keep us home in case of bad weather, we were educated by Julie S, who is the North East Iowa ambassador for the Dress A Girl Around the World nonprofit. When girls are wearing a nice dress, they are less likely to be harassed or human trafficked. After teaching us about the hazards of being a girl in a poorer area of the world, she taught us how to sew dresses from 1 yard of fabric and some accent fabric for the pockets and ties. See the photos below for ideas. There may be a sewing day in our chapter’s future to make many of the dresses. Sew and Share ended our meeting.
