I think she did an outstanding job at her first attempt.....It was a very simple pattern to start with but she was very focused and listened to every word and detail I explained to her. I thought for sure after 30 min she would find something else to do but she stuck with it til that top was done. We started at 5pm and finishes the top at 1am. She was bound and determined it was going to be finished for Xmas. Now she wants a sewing machine and fabric, she took a list of what I had on my sewing table and gave the list to her dad...lol it was funny cause my son Cris said "Oh ma what have you done"?...........thank you for looking
