Butterfli, does your grandson cook with you? Could you make him a chef apron? I just finished one with an e-pattern, and it was pretty fast and gratifying. (used home dec fabric from Joann's back wall in Portsmouth.)
I am finding it very hard to create during the pandemic.
Usually, I go from my fabric to searching for a pattern, but if that isn't working, the online ideas can help you find something that speaks to you.
Do you keep a picture file? Looking at it or adding to it can keep you in the game, too.
hugs,
charlotte
