This week was spring break for Alayna and to keep her from getting bored, Oma got a sewing box together for her to use. It had pins, needles, thread, etc. Alayna also had Oma's box of scraps. She made several doll dresses, one of which was a suit for her barbie. She has a good attention to detail and does everything from her memory. She is very creative.
She got in trouble for going through the 80 fat quarters that Oma got for her birthday, so I went to Jo-Ann's and picked her up a 5 or 6 fat quarters. She was very excited! She took the material, pinned the edges, and sewed this multi-tier skirt. I was so impressed. She did this all by her self while Oma took an afternoon nap.
I really think we have something with her. I am going to take her to a fabric store down here to see if they have a few pieces that she might want to make something out of. I am thinking of getting her a kid sewing machine for her birthday.
