I googled sewing with kids and quite a few titles came up. Kids Can press usually has good books. You will be amazed at how well young children can do when it is something they want to do. I taught primary school for many years and almost every year we did some kind of a sewing project. The children loved it. It was a bit of a challenge helping anywhere from 18 to 22 kids complete a project but the joy on their faces was well worth it!

Simple tote bags are one of the first things 4-H kids do here. PJ bottoms are pretty easy, aslo. How old is your little sister?

My 4yo is learning to hand sew a quilt. I did the cutting and mark the lines for her to sew on. She's doing a simple 4 patch. pj bottoms would be a good project and a simple purse would probably be loved!

Would love to see some of the kids finished projects!

A ninepatch block made into a pillow would be easy and fun... my then 10 year old son loved making one...he chose the colors and the order they were to be in and still, at 13 has the pillow on a chair in his room!

A fusible appliqued wall hanging... you could do the pillow case method of finishing it..teaching her to hand sew the opening closed. Finishing with some machine quilting on it.

Pot holder, apron, pillow that you sew around and stuff, bookmark, Panels are good too.

My 8 yr old dd has had a lot of fun making pillow cases and pj pants. She has also done some simple quilts in the 4-patch genre lol. She wants to try a skirt next. I make most of her dresses and skirts, so the patterns are already around

a doll quilt would be great.
