My GD when I was visiting her we made a skirt made out of strips she was so proud and even wore it to church with a little t-shirt. When she was here we made a little tote bag nothing fancy but she even carried that into NYC. When she was making the strips for the skirt she made some for her Dad & Mom she has her own sewing machine and she sews on all her Girl Scout badges...it skipped a generation. Shame she is 700 miles away.
