I know what you mean about sewing for a small child. GD is soon to be 4--in 2 weeks. I just embellished some store bought t-shirts for her. I did that last summer too. Its so much fun trying to decide how to decorate them. I have 2 sundresses to sew--I know its late in the year, but hopefully they will still fit next year. She is a petit little thing. I want to try my hand at a flannel nightgown for her too. I have lots of flannel just need her mom to get her measurements so I can decide on a pattern and get the right size. I sed to do a lot of sewing for her mom when she was that age too. Then it was out of necessity, now its just plain fun!
