S wanted me to make a stuffed animal. I told him I didn’t have time to make a stuffed animal at the moment and suggested another time to work on the project. He countered that he could make the stuffed animal. After a moment’s hesitation, I agreed. He designed the creature, I adapted into a pattern and cut it out for him and then I taught him the rudiments of hand sewing. You can see the finished product, decorated, of course, with markers.
