I have a 2 1/2 year old who is into sewing. well as into it as she can be. she is getting a toy sewing machine for Christmas. it has a finger guard on it so she wont sew her fingers just the fabric. will wrap it in fabric. I just can't wait.
I too would try and take the teens to the fabric store so that you can at least get an idea of what colors they like and what prints. one might like really modern an other might like calico's and another might like a combo of the two. teens are just so hard to figure out these days. and i was just one about 10 years ago. wow do I feel old now. hehe
