Quick help needed - little girls want to sew!!!!
Help! My granddaughters (ages 7, 6) arrive tonight (Fri, 5/24) and I just learned that the 7 yr old has become very interested in sewing.
Any quick, easy, low frustration ideas for what I can do with her??????? I saw the criss-cross coasters in an earlier thread this week but wonder if a young girl needs coasters......
Help!!!! I am grateful for whatever advice comes my way!!

I used to help out at 4H and the little ones loved to make book bags. They are so simple yet useful. Just sew side seams, leaving an opening at both sides for the cording to go. Press and turn and stitch the seams again to create a sturdy French seam. Then turn the hem across the top and stitch. Put rope through the hem extending through the holes you left. Does this make sense?
