Sewing with pre-teen

[Lyn-J]

I'm planning a sewing session with DGD3 next week.
Any suggestions on what to make?
What about patterns?
Looking forward to hearing any ideas you have.

depends... I made a hanging heart decoration with one niece but knew that sort of project wouldn't work for another one.. she made a bag

My two girls (9 and 6) like make clothes for their toys or little soft toys, or capes for themselves!

I started off my GDs with tote bags.... and very pleased with themselves they were 
Also cushions and lavender bags were a hit. All made with patchwork from pre cut squares

What about a skirt.  Just 2 rectangles, and elasticated waist.  Plain T shirt.  Pyjama bottoms.

My 9 year old niece wanted a spread out skirt ( inclement skirt she could twirl around in)...she loved making it...x

something like a pair of pj shorts? Oliver+S have a good free pattern I think (though it would require printing out)

First thing I ever made was a tote bag, lots of decoration and ric rac.

But if they want clothes, then PJ bottoms and loose tops can be fun.

thanks for all the replies
I'm deciding between bags, skirts and PJs
