Haniya’s Scrap Strip Pillow
A Beginning Quilt Project for Young Girls, ages 7 to 10
I’m proud of my 9-year old daughter, Haniya, for creating this pillow. One day while I was serging around some cloth napkins, she was in the mood to sew, too. She got out her scrap bag and got to work at the idle-no-longer sewing machine. With a little help from Mom, the resulting pillow became Gramma’s birthday present. Her pillow inspired Naomi, our daughter who is 7. Naomi completed a pillow top in the same afternoon.
This makes a great project for new seamstresses because it doesn’t require careful piecing — your young seamstress will be sewing only straight seams, and not very many of them, at that. She’ll get good practice at using the sewing machine to seam those straight lines, which every seamstress needs to perfect. In addition, she’ll be able to complete the pillow pretty quickly, which makes for a great confidence builder.

This is lovely! My daughters made a 9 patch pillow when they were younger and we still treasure it. It looks like she did a great job!
That is lovely.
Hi, Julie and Michelle. Thank you! I will tell Haniya what you said.
Love, Wardeh
