Would be a totally eye opening experience for her. :-D
I'm sorry that you have such a clueless SIL. They frequently are. But I think that Sewcrafty is right. Invite her over and teach her how to do a small project....although I wouldn't have the fabric ready, I'd take her shopping with my color wheel, so that she would get the experience from beginning to end. However, at the same time you know how much love, creativity, time and effort go into a gift like this. Know that what you are giving is a gift of the heart and it is precious simply for that reason. Clueless SILs aside.
