Back in August, we were contacted by Kathy Barbro of an organization called Project HOPE Art. The group is devoted to providing ongoing assistance for victims of last year’s horrific earthquake in Haiti.<\/p>\n

The group was kicking off a new project,\u00a0a homemade dress drive<\/a> for young girls living at an orphanage in Port-Au-Prince. Their goal was to sew and deliver 30 dresses to the orphanage, and Kathy wondered if they could use our free Popover Sundress<\/a> pattern for the project.<\/p>\n

\"Popover<\/a><\/p>\n

We are always happy to have people sew from our patterns for charitable causes. We told Kathy that, of course, they could use the pattern. She\u00a0put up a blog post<\/a>, and we Tweeted a link to it.<\/p>\n

Fast forward two months. Did 30 people sew and send in a Popover Sundress? Yes. And then another 30 did, and another 30, and another 30, and…. To date, Project HOPE Art has received 143 completed Popover Sundresses to deliver to Haiti!<\/p>\n

Now Project HOPE Art is raising funds for an interesting new project in Haiti. Once the project is funded and goes forward, the dresses will be delivered by the people with the organization who travel to Haiti to facilitate the project. If you would like to find out more about the project and make a donation to help fund it, you can do so on the project’s Kickstarter page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thanks to all of you who have donated your time and talents to make these dresses. And thanks to Kathy for putting in all the legwork to make this wonderful project happen.<\/p>\n
