My Grandaughter has no interest in sewing. However, she just loves my easy chair pin cushion. I found it years ago at Joanne's. I am going to see if I can find another one for her. Have no idea what she will do with it. It does have a lift up seat, thought maybe she could store some jewelry in it. Obviously a crazy gift. Just one of those whimsy things.
Great idea to get your Grandaughter started. Be sure to include a variety of small scraps to practice on.
