When Glenda Eubanks took a dress pattern to Anna Adcox and her sister, Frances Trimble, she thought, “They’ll probably make a few and get tired of it.”
About 17,000 dresses later, Adcox is still at it.
“I’ve called them the sewing angels,” Eubanks said of the sisters.
Adcox, 97, a member of Lake Pointe Baptist Church, Dadeville, makes the dresses for children all over the world. Her son-in-law, Leroy Sellers, said she hasn’t made less than 50 a week since she started seven years ago.
For years, Trimble, who died in November 2020, did the cutting while Adcox did the sewing. But even though she’s lost her helper, Adcox hasn’t slowed down.
Sellers said some people might think they’re too old for ministry, but Adcox is proof that’s not true, he said. “She’s taken it on as a challenge.”
