When I was about 3-4 before kindergarten, my grandmother had me embroidering tea towels. That was what you did back in time. Teach her the proper way, how to sit with the correct light going over her shoulder ( was it right or left) and how to tear out the stitches that don't look perfect. The whole nine yards. My sons made potholders with buttons on them so they could sew buttons on their clothes. Thank heaven because the women they married never saw a needle much less thread...
