The first thing is have her use an emty needle and follow the lines on notebook paper to practice sewing straigt. I know they won't like doing that for a long time but you know what piano teachers make you do first and everytime you warm up.

Tote bags or snap purses. My 9 and 11 y/o grands made those this fall. Even boys can use both, we just don't call it a purse....LOL! His is a gadget bag and has a wrist strap.

Etc. etc.
I think it's important to have something they can use - and that making to fit will not be a problem.
