This Christmas DD received a belated present, a book about fashion illustration. Unfortunately she has been in tears for the past 2 days. I guess she had never seen fashion illustrations before, or at least in this much detail. Her illustrations do not look like professional illustrations and this realization has been completely devastating. Perfectionism is rapidly seeping into every nook and cranny of her six year old life. Do all roads lead to perfectionism?

Thanks Jojo. DD is completely resistant to hand sewing, but very eager to use the machine. I think that the 'deep and wide' approach might be the best.
