The same thing happened with me ----- with my THREE YEAR OLD granddaughter! She asked Santa for a sewing machine, and told me she wanted to keep it at my house and teach me. She lost interest after about 9 seams (but still talks to her mom about how she :"made" a blanket). It will get finished and her dolly will be nice and warm. Yes, it's the best gift I've ever received. (later she told her mom that she, herself, would teach her how to sew. lol)
