My little girl has Autism and was terrified of the sewing machine. I had bought her a tiny Barbie sewing machine last year, but she was afraid of it. Today she took it out and said mom can we sew today. I ran to my stash and pulled out and cut a small square for a pillow. The first 3 side were not pinned, I just helped hold as she sewed around. She turned it and stuffed it herself. The 3 pins on the end almost ended her sewing, but she overcame to sew the end shut. If you know anything about Autism, then you know my little girl climbed a mountain today (fear of sounds and fear of sharp things)
