I had my grands make pillow cases from the tutorials on u tube. They were all straight seams and were done in no time. It was instant gratification. And they turned out nice. The project isn't long enough to lose interest. Now the 9 yr old wants to make more . He also wants to make a pillow. Have fun with your grands. The quality time spent together is wonderful. He arranged the pins on the table to say I love u and then said for me to read it. That sure made my day.
