Sew & Tell - Sophie's Messenger Bag
Please meet Sophie. She is nine. Yes, I said she is nine. She first came to the shop about a month ago and picked Amy Butler's High Street Messenger Bag pattern. I asked her who would be sewing it as she was accompanied with two adult women, assuming one of them would be sewing it for her. She said, "Me!." Wow, do you know how challenging this pattern looks? A very intricate design. Intimidating enough for most grown-ups. But, she really made it. Yes, she has a teacher who helped her, but she amazed me for being such a fearless sewer. And the result is just jaw-dropping! She was very articulate about what she wants to be when she grows up. A designer! "Yes you can" Go Sophie! And thank you!
