I've decided to change the "give back" portion of the LBB / Dharma Trading Design Challenge. Instead of donating dresses to the local charity I mentioned, I've decided to sell a few of them on Etsy (as well as some existing stock I have) with 100% of the proceeds to be donated to Three Angels Haiti Orphanage. I'll be listing some over the weekend. I know I had mentioned donating the dresses directly to Three Angels Haiti, but I think the money is crucial for medical supplies and other basic necessities. I created a section on my Etsy store named "Three Angels Haiti." As usual I'll be posting the listings on my Facebook page so keep a look out. I know everyone's budgets are tight but if your little girl needs clothes....you can help out at the same time!
Update: 100% of all pattern sales today go to Three Angels Haiti. As of this update $322 raised!
Update 2: $460 raised as of 3:28 Pacific time!
Another quick note: The leggings pattern is almost done. It was a success with my testers and I'm adding some additional options to the pattern like ruffles, length options etc. I will announce all the winners of the giveaway tomorrow so you can keep entering until I draw...I just have to figure out the easiest way to pick 15 winners from 800 fans on Facebook! Thank you all so much for the amazing response....so overwhelmed!
If you've convo'd me or emailed in the last day I'm sorry that I haven't had a chance to get back to you! I promise I am going to be sewing like crazy this weekend and next week to accommodate your requests!
Lastly....make sure to enter the challenge and force me to sew more dresses for a good cause!

Oh, thank you for having such a generous heart. My heart has been truly touched with all the suffering they are going through at Haiti. I'm glad many people are reaching out to help those who are suffering.
ReplyDeleteNow I better get sewing up some more dresses, so you can, too!
I think it's really great that you're doing that. You're a hero, in your own little way. <3
ReplyDeleteI think for your leggings pattern you should do an option with a little big of gathers on the outer seam of the lower leg, if that description makes sense? I see it in stores a lot and it is sooooo cute.
I am so impressed and touched by your giving! Thanks for sharing how much money you've raised already! It's really inspiring!
