My granddaughter Sarah started sewing this weekend too, but she is 10. We are doing very basic doll clothes for "Michelle" who is the best dressed doll in America! Sarah also made a tote out of her old jeans skirt by cutting off the bottom and using it for the handles. The bling pockets made darling decorations on the front. We also have a pillow case planned and 4 inch blocks cut for a simple quilt. Have fun with your grands. The time with Sarah was so precious and a blast for both of us. I was shocked at how quickly she caught on and what a good job she did.
