I love this. My GS is 16-1/2 months old, and even now shows an interest in Gramma's "schnew-ing" and the "schnew-ing" machine. He has "helped" me make him some stitched patches and a few little pockets to carry around and put his zoo animals in. He calls them "schnew-ings." I plan to have him making projects with Gramma in a couple of years!
