The only tricky part would be sewing on the binding. There is not a lot of room for error on that part. Our 11 year old struggled a bit with the binding, but she is not detail oriented. You know your 7 year old and I would go with your gut, but this pattern is pretty straight forward. Mom2Seven – I think that an enthusiastic seven year old would do alright with this class.

She recently completed a quilt top (It took her a year--from the time she turned six until she turned seven, and was straight seams only. She required help with ALL the pinning--she just couldn't seem to get that part right!), and I wonder if this class/tutorial will be too difficult for her. What do you think? Could an enthusiastic and eager seven-year-old do well with this class? Thanks! The aprons look great!

Michelle @ my blessed home, I really liked the classes. If it is something that you want to learn, I would certainly look into it. Michelle @ precious peas, I would love to make myself one also. I don't have any nice aprons and it is something that I would like to get into the habit of wearing, plus it would be fine to match the girls. Heather,

WOW! I'm working on my next 2 aprons for a total of 3. I really like the style of the apron and I think eventually, I will make myself one too. Great review. I enjoy your blog!

(kidding) I can not wait til I get my (new or new to me)sewing machine. When I do, I might see if I can not barrow a bit of your time to teach me how to make sissy some dresses. She is too tall and thin to get anything to fit her from the store. (by that I obviously mean goodwill, habbitat, or yardsales... I AM learning after all. hehe) It all swallows her, by the time you get it long enough. You did an awesome job on their jumpers! I am excited to start learning. I will let you know when I get my machine. Thanks for posting these georgious pix of your gurlz. Basting…. that is what you do to a turkey right??

Sigh - I wish I could sew. Pillows and curtains are pretty much all I can do. Maybe those sewing classes would be a good idea for me! :-) Those are so beautiful – both the dresses and the girls!

I would LOVE to try these aprons. Sometimes I teach sewing to the girls in our homeschool group, and this sounds perfect for a class! And that dress in the first photo is beautiful!
