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
