Calling All Pillowcase Dress Seamstresses!

Hello Everyone,

I am taking another team to Shanto around the first of June. 

FOVC is beginning to expand to three more villages. So, we will work in Shanto again, and we will also visit the new villages.


It would be sooooo amazing to bless those little village girls with pillowcase dresses.


Anyone up for another round of sewing? For a simple tutorial on how to make these simple dresses, go here. Or go here.

Important note: please use thick, grosgrain ribbon, or real fabric straps for the ties! We would also love to take simple, elastic-waist skirts and t-shirts for the bigger girls. Culturally, once a girl is 10 or 11, a mid-shin-length skirt is more appropriate for her.  

Simple boy pants and shirts would be greatly appreciated, too....I hear the clearance racks at Walmart, Target and Kohls are full!

Let me know if you are "in" for this project!

LOVE!
lory

https://pixengo.com/best-microphones-for-youtube/
Finding the best microphone for youtube channel can be tricky. That's why Youtubers change their mic very frequently as they hike up in their career. I've personally changed more than 30 microphones for my usage. I've tested more than a hundred microphones while setting up home studios for my clients. I thereby know the in's and out's of microphones (you're in expert hands).
If you wish to produce quality youtube videos, you need to take care of the audio. Audio is a vital element of the video. Your eyes can endure 144p videos, but it can't handle an HD video with lousy sound. A lot of people who start doing youtube invest a good amount on DSLR, but they forget about the second part of the equation - audio. For a professional grade video, you need good audio. Fortunately, there are a lot of manufacturers out there. There is always a microphone which will fit your budget and quality expectations.
