Last summer my 3 1/2 yr old DGD helped make her a new summer dress (Mom was not told until after the fact!). She loved helping put the fabric thru for the seam and pushing the "cut" button at the end. She did become bored, but Grandma's button jar cured that. After an hour she modeled the dress for Mommy with the declaration, "I helped Grandma make my new dress!" On this summers visit I will help her make her first quilt!
