My D at around 5 or 6 wanted a witch costume for Halloween and I offered to buy a pattern and let her sew it. Nope! Don’t need a pattern! I’m gonna lay on the floor on a piece of paper and you trace me! So we did. She made a lot of dolls and stuffed animals by hand and machine (which I did show her) but I don’t think she ever looked at any pattern or asked for help in her creations. No surprise she went to art school…
