I am the grandma of two boys & one girl. She is 8 yrs old and so interested in learning to sew. I am teaching her some fun basic projects & know it will be a life-long enjoyment for her. So far we have made several pieced Scotty Dog pillows which she gives as gifts to her cousins. Now we are on to Halloween mini-treat bags for her school friends. I am having so much fun with her. Unfortunately, her mother was not a fan of sewing. Maybe I was just too busy working then to have the time or patience. Grand children are our second chance to enjoy the little ones especially now in retirement.
