This is Bailey, my cousin's adorable seven year old. She was visiting my house yesterday while I made a curtain for our aunt, and decided I should teach her to "hand sew". (She also cleaned out my magnetic pin cushions and put all the needles back where they belong...sweet!) Here is her first project. She learned fast and finished before I had the curtain done!

Good for you teaching Bailey and 5 stars for Bailey for beating you. :)

Darling young lady and cute purse:)

Nice job, Bailey! :thumbup:

and she looks so proud, I don't think my 9 yr old grandchild could hold still long enough to sew anything

terrific sewing job. she's a doll.

Nice and easy project for a beginner. You go Bailey, you're off to a good start. That's how I learned. Love your beautiful zebra print bag.

Nicely done Bailey!

Looks like she'll be coming back to your house often!!
Great job, Bailey!

That's nice

What a doll. And how wonderful for you to get her started sewing. It's so much fun.

I like that treadle in the background.

Nice to see children sewing.

Lyncat what a wonderful person you are to take the time to help Bailey learn to sew. What a treat and great person to want to learn. I wish I had someone that was interested when I was a kid. Hurrah to you both.

I love that you are teaching her to sew. Everyone should know how to sew even a little. Cute finished project.

Oh that is so cute. She will love using it. It is wonderful that you started small so she could complete it quickly
