My grandchildren's school is having a festival in about a month. I have a multitude of fabric, some just small pieces and some 1/2 yards and everything in between. Does anyone have suggestions what I could sew that would appeal to little girls about 5-11 years old. Between their other grandmother and me, we could whip out a multitude of items for their General Store. It doesn’t have to be anything quilted. Just things that little girls would like. Their other grandmother is a whiz at sewing - draperies, costumes, clothes, etc.

Here's a link to a small pouch that could be attached to a backpack or even a key ring. https://so-sew-easy.com/teeny-tiny-mini-zipper-pouch/

Great for little kids' treasures. There are lots free small pouch and bag patterns out there. Just google. Or maybe kids' aprons, library book bags, dolly blankets, cell phone holders, hair scrunchies....just off the top of my head...

Thank you for your great suggestions. I really like the hair scrunchies. I’ll look at the website GingerK mentioned.

Headbands, pencil cases, book marks, journal or book covers...

Cute little purses with straps. Cute stuffed small animals.

Lots of different ideas here. https://www.everythingetsy.com/2012/...ifts-for-kids/

If you could make a few reading pillows that would be marvelous. I have made a couple of them for kids and they love them. The major expense is the pillow insert but you could make them too with craft stuffing or tearing apart an old pillow. My daughter teaches 5th grade and her students love the composition books tat are covered with a fun fabric. I made one with Mickey Mouse fabric and they all wanted one. (They keep journals at school so they like to keep one of their own.)

Below is the link to a photo of a doll sleeping bag I made for my great niece. In the post you can click on the other link that shows the easy assembly.

I like little zipper pouches of all sizes, the young ladies who are 11 may like some in a bigger size for pads or tampons. I've heard girls are starting their periods at younger ages now.
