I started with 3x8 inches of cotton fabric,made channels at either ends with the sewing machine. Then I had the little girls sew the side edges with yarn and a blunt end large needle. I was amazed that a young girl of 4 was able to do quite a good job. I cut twenty five of these for the girls to sew by themselves. then I went to extra mile........
I cut an additonal 25 of these and sewed them up, placed som decorations on the front, as seen on both of these. then I proceeded to insert narrow satin ribbon, as can be seen on the left side of the top picture.....
The finished product. I gave each of the girls one of these to take home as a job well done. They were quite excited about them. and they all chose the same fabric purse as the one they had been working on. I had an hour for the demonstration.
