Awe Janey, what a very lovely message to leave. I am glad you are finding things that you can enjoy together! I bet the “sensory” element of the lavender bags (they smell so lovely) will be nice for him too! And the windchimes and thrift store searching will be a great project together!

Red Ted, this will be good for me and my boy ( grandson who is Austic )… he has trouble with his hands… they shake so bad he can’t do many things but he loves to watch me sew , by hand but most of all with my machine, it can write his name you know, that tickles him alot. but thank you very much for this tute I’m always looking for things for us to do together that he can learn, he is soon to be 14 years old but functions at a 4 to 6 yr. old level at some things, but he is so smart sometimes it amazes me… it’s like all this stuff is locked away in his brain and he can’t get much out… but i love him so much it amazes me that i have a love so deep for him, he just recently started staying the night with me… well i could go on & on about him…. but again thanks so much for this tute…
P.S. i will be making the spoon & fork wind chimes ( no drill involved ) with him too, he loves thrift stores, we will have fun shopping there for the silverware also…

So glad you talked about letting him come and go as he pleased and that it’s okay if kids don’t finish an activity. The trying is the important part. Thanks for sharing at the Sunday Showcase.

These are so cute, Maggy! I just love them. I hope it’s okay if I share them on my Creative Week round-up.

I love these lavender bags and think we’ll definitely have to make some — and we’ll have to check out your other lavender options. We recently used the lavender we had to make some bath scrubs for my mom for her birthday and oat bath. We had so much fun. I need to get my post about it written!!

I think it is “satisfying” for kids to be able to finish something! I just remembered that it is also helpful if you draw a pencil line to help children follow a “straight line”…

What a good idea for a first sewing project. We’ve just gone around the edge of course fabric to try stitching but a little pillow is the perfect mini starter task.
