Congratulations to you both. A job well done. I was sewing my own clothes by the time I was 11. My mom taught me the value of matching seams and how to use a ripper. I still can't draft my own patterns if they aren't a flat piece, but admire those that can. I still have to match my seams to within a 16th of an inch, unless it's under a belt, then I can go 1/8". LOL A lot of years sewing garments and now I sew quilts. Thanks to you, fabric and sewing will probably be a part of this young girl's life forever. I am so glad you shared this with us.
