Every girl deserves at least one dress. Since October 2009, "Dress A Girl Around The World" has reached over 81 countries with a recorded number of over one million dresses delivered to girls in need around the world. Recently, we spoke with the Maine DAG Ambassador, Jane, who is in need of help with sewing menstral pads and dresses for girls in need.

We will be holding 9 sewing dates for those who are interested in volunteering their time to sew. You can stay the whole time or for a few hours; any help is appreciated. If there are more requests for sewing days, we will update that information on our website and social media. Feel free to bring a lunch with you; the sewing room at NACE has a refrigerator you can keep your food/drinks in.

We do ask volunteers to please register for the days they wish to come in and sew to be sure the sewing room and supplies are all ready.

All participants will have an opportunity to make a  heart, a flower or a fish. Cross-stitch is a form of sewing  and a popular form of counted-thread embroidery in  which X-shaped stitches in a tiled pattern are used to  form a picture. Bringing your personal scissors may be  preferred. Instructions and materials will be provided.  Let’s Create for Useful’s Sake!

Participants will have an opportunity to learn 9 to 12 Tangle designs which can be incorporated into a drawn design. Tangles are typically black ink on white background. The designs look like doodles, but they are typically detailed and specific. They are fun and can be quietly meditative. All materials provided including instructions.

Take time and get lost in the world of basic watercolor skills. We will paint with watercolors that will be attached to note cards for your correspondence pleasure. We will be able to make 4 to 5 cards and maybe more, time permitting. Come not knowing anything and leave having had a new learning experience. All materials and instruction provided.
