My 10 year old came in and watched me work a while on Monday afternoon (I'll post my project when I'm done with them all) and then asked if she could have my scraps. She always wants them...little pack rat...but never makes anything from them.
Later that evening, she asked if I could help sew up the opening and get the ears on tighter because her stitches didn't work and she needed help. I'm not sure what I expected to see, but it wasn't an almost completed project!I had no idea she'd even been sewing? She had even used my sewing machine...need to teach clean up post-project next!
I asked her how she did it and she said she found a pattern online and followed the instructions (using things from the allowed scraps baskets). I thought, By yourself!?!? I was so surprised. I guess when you want to create, you figure it out!
Here's where she found the pattern and instructions:
(I don't think it's meant to be made from terrycloth, but it worked just fine.)
She calls him Pipsqueak.

That is great! She is amazing. I love her creativity and talent! I know her room just needed one more stuffed little friend and especially a handmade one makes it even more special. Each generation of sewing is just getting better and better:)
