I have cut out squares of fabric and then mt nephew who was 4 at the time learned to hand sew them together when he was done I sandwiched it and sewed together then he hand quilted it of course the quilting left a lot to be desired heavy in spots scarce in other spots it became a placement to put dogs feeding dish on then we went on to learning to use the sewing machine we made wall hangings for his room he was so proud of his work. He always asked me to needle the thread when it became unthreaded we also made a couple pot holders then went on to making our own fabric using a paintbrush and paintnwhich we ended up making a collage out of
