She did a great job, especially with the stitching. If I show my daughter she will want to do one for her American Girl doll.

That is awesome... I always loved it when my girls would come out to the shop and join in on whatever I was working on.  My oldest daughter still comes over and bangs on metal with me and my youngest went to school and got her construction technologies certification and degree... so I guess it paid off

I don't want to highjack your thread but I was inspired but your kids story.  My daughter wanted to make her mom a Christmas gift. It was her design. I did about half of the cutting and the carving.  She did 3/4 of the stitching. I had to finish it up. I was really proud of her, stuck with it longer than I thought she would.  Especially since most of the stitching had to be done with it formed.  The yellow is mill tanned leather from a shop that makes chaos, and the holes started closing up.

We end up getting my girl her own shoulder for Christmas. She has done valet trays ,bracelets, and now has a couple belt buckles in the works. Next time she's down she is planning on a "can coozie". She got artistic ability from her mom. She draws up her own patterns even.

Reduce the size of your picture, then you should be able to post it.  Lots of links here and elsewhere on the web about reducing your picture size.  Search them out and give it a try.
