I noticed most of your projects are Christmas related. A spring or summer pillow case would be good. I had my DGD#1 make a pillow last summer with her name on it. She picked out all the fabric, fused fabric to interfacing, printed her name on it, cut it out with pinking shears, pinned it to front of pillow. Then I marked dots on the fabric which she used as guide to stitch large quilt stitches with embroidery thread to pillow top. She then sewed the pillow together, turned, and stuffed. Last she whipped stitched closing. She was almost 5. We did this over a weeks time, about 1hour a day. I even let her iron by putting one arm behind her. Now she is asking what our next project is and wants to see my projects.
