My Grandsons learning to sew
 

My grandson, Dane, now 6 is fascinated with my sewing machine. Every time he comes he checks out my sewing room. I had leftover strips and showed him how to sew them together. I put the speed at slow and he had the most wonderful time sewing. His brother Preston, 8 also wanted to sew. They each made a John Deere pillow case and were very proud of their work.

They look like they are having fun. It's a good skill to have! Thanks for teaching them.

That is wonderful!

That is so cool, they sure are handsome little guys!!!

Learning to sew is very helpful: teaches math,design and art, develops hand-eye coordination,patience and persistence...not mention the creative juices! Special "quilting" words are a later skill..LOL!

Very cute boys and look like they are very careful, trying to do theeir best. Great looking pillowcases.

That looks like my sewing room...minus the kids, of course.

Yes, kids do enjoy learning to sew, even boys. I've started two nephews and a niece on their way into the sewing world, and I hope they keep it up for their lives. But whether they do or not, they'll have memories!

And will soon be making quilts.

wow.... that is great

I think that's wonderful. My MIL taught my DH to sew when he was young and now he repairs his own clothes when needed. In fact I have a quilt on my machine right now that I'm trying to quilt and he wants to know when I will be done so he can use the machine. LOL. I might have to find another machine for him.
