Grandkids

My granddaughter was learning to sew, but could not work with patterns. Her little brother wanted her to make him something, so this is what she made. And remember, she had no pattern!! Complete with shoes, vest, pants, even eyes!!  She was about 8  to 10 years old then. 

Below is another thing she made, again no pattern she just starting sewing, using whatever I had on hand.
