Material Hunting in West Africa

Authors: Ashleigh More

 We spent a fair amount of our recent trip to Ghana searching for material to make our bridesmaid's dresses and to use to make table runners. As we also wanted to get the bridesmaids dresses made while we were in Ghana we had to get organised quickly when we first arrived in picking out their material.
