Neat trick!  I do little sewing of that type, but I do craft more than the 
average person.  Mostly I make candles .  Lately I taught a neighborhood 
young lady (age 10) how to make them and gave her her first mold.  (with 
parental permission and she is an advanced 10YO so it's safe).  She brought 
me a candle just a few days ago!
Chuckle, she decorated it with butterflies from her science collection which 
might gross some folks out, but it's very pretty even if too delicate to last 
long.
