Pam Tucker makes some of the "pocket buddies" that will accompany a shipment of handmade dresses for little girls throughout the world. The dressmakers from Washougal United Methodist Church also pin ribbons and hair bands into the dress pockets.

Members of a local church’s quilting group are continuing their annual Lenten tradition of serving others by sewing dresses for girls around the world.

Although the handcrafted dresses will soon head to girls in 82 different countries, many of the outfits are on display now through Easter Sunday, April 16, inside the Washougal United Methodist Church sanctuary at 4020 “M” St., Washougal.
