My grandson is two. I bought one of the mini machines with push button on/off. I took the needle out and he sews a strip of fabric over and over. He knows to put the foot down before sewing and a raise it up when done. He 'does his work' while I sew.

Love to do projects with my grands. Pillowcases are a great idea. I will be doing this next summer when they each spend a week at Camp Gramma. Maybe they can pick out their own fabrics. Thanks for the idea. Love the picture...beautiful kids.

What great fun it is sewing with G-kids. One of my G-sons would come over every year & make Christmas gifts with me. He always knew what he wanted to make for his family every year. I was so sad when his interest changed to girls instead of sewing with G-Ma. Although he did make a few things for his first girlfriend. Christmas gifts would be a great project for you & your G-kids. They could make pillow cases, pot holders, place mats, microwave bowls just to mention a few items.
