i picked up this book on a lark, thinking it sounded like a pretty good little gift that kelly would enjoy. well...."enjoy" is putting it very lightly. she LOVES it!
it arrived in the post at about 10 am & by lunch she already had read the beginning lessons about sewing & gathered her supplies to create her own sewing kit. by 4pm she had made a sweet apple pincushion, a needlebook with a button closure and a little pillow for her doll jane.
yep...methinks she likes it :)
this morning she is back at it, creating a little monster out of too small T-shirts she found in the donate bin. holy moly it is looking CUTE so far!
happy sewing!

Way too adorable! Maybe she could even finish up all the projects in the book?
And isn't she a split image of you in the last picture? :)
