DD (17) told me she thought she might like to make a quilt just to see what it was like. Trouble was, she's never sewn anything before. Well, last Monday while in Hancocks, I came across a Janome Sew Mini on sale for $49. It weighs just 5 pounds, does only straight and zigzag, has just one foot and not much power. Just the thing for DD to learn on. I figured if she didn't like it, I'd have a small machine to travel with. I took it home, took her to Joanns for some supplies and started her out on making a "sewer's apron". We went from there to rotary cutting and a simple 9 patch with 4inch squares. By Friday, she was hooked!! Nice corner matching and everything. She says, "Wow Mom, this is really fun!".... By the time Saturday came around, we just HAD to go to the fabric store and look at fabric and she's already looked through my books and picked out her next couple of projects..... haha! another one bites the dust!! LOL :twisted:
