Yes! I taught my friend’s daughter using a towel and sewing on a nice piece of holiday fabric to the bottom of the towel. She learned how to turn things under and sew a straight stitch, along with how to measure and cut with seam allowances. It was a great project and she learned it quickly. The project was done in a day!!
