Caroline has always enjoyed being crafty and learning to make new things. She's been knitting on a loom for about a year now, has learned to do a bit of hand sewing and enjoys helping me with any project that I'm working on. So when Maw Maw mentioned a simple sewing machine as a gift for her birthday I thought it was a perfect idea.

We got her all set up today and she made a fleece "quilt" for her new Christmas baby, Miriam Joy. I gave her the instructions but she did the entire project completely by herself. This machine is absolutely perfect for a young, beginning seamstress. It's very much a real machine and works well, but it's slow in speed. She was able to stay in control of her project easily by herself, which really gave her a lot of confidence.

Next on the project list is a matching blanket for herself and then some jammie pants!
