My granddaughter, Aubrey, age 12, decided after watching Grandma sew, that she wanted to make something. After looking at numerous books, she decided on making a pajama top. Next order of business was to pick out fabric. She loved the doggie fabric and I suggested we use the paw print fabric to "accent" it.

I think that she did really good for the first time using a pattern, cutting the fabric and sewing!! (Grandma did help -- but really not that much!)

She hates to have her picture taken so I didn't get any of the actual "doing" but here is the finished effort:

I don't know why she doesn't like her picture taken. She's such a beautiful girl. And she sews! Let us know if she needs fabric! Great influence, grandma!
