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:

She's adorable! And what a good job she did! I think you've got a sewing buddy.....

Sewjoyce, thanks for sharing, what a fun hobby to share with your gd. Sorry she doesn't like her picture taken because she's beautiful and we all love to see beauty in our lives. That's such cute fabric!

Wow!! She did a really beautiful job on it!! She looks really happy and proud of it too! :D :D
Better make room for her machine to be set up now, next to your's..... :wink: :D
My closest GD will be 6 the end of the month, and I'm itching to get her sewing too!

Well, gee, I think she's beautiful too -- but then I'm just a wee bit prejudiced! Thanks :D

Your granddaughter beautiful and she did a great job for her first sewing project.

She did a great job, it's so cute!

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!
