Is this suitable for an 11 year old girl?

I have bought two of these for my god-daughters, aged 7 and 11. I'm now worried that it is too young for the eldest?

When I saw them this summer, she did spend some time making bracelets out of parachute cord (or something) so she is in to crafts, but this has pre-made homes and a non-sharp needle so may be too basic?

I think it is fine, though whether at 11 I would want to match my bag with my 7 year old sister, I don’t know Wink I think it is a lovely gift

11 year old at secondary (def not) but primary school (prob ok)

Hmmm.
Mixed responses!
And I didn't really intend them to match, but did it accidentally.

She is secondary, so maybe not.
I may need to think again.
Grrrr - I wanted to get this stuff wrapped up to post!

Based on my DD when she was 11 (now 13), I'd say too little girly, sorry. Probably needs to be something (a) not same as sister, and (b) where she has to do a bit of a design herself or it's just a bit harder. Maybe one of:
