Thank you all for your comments. She just turned 5 on the 16th of this month! I had to sew the last ends together as I was afraid she would get her fingers & cut the fabric, but she did the rest.
I have a few other posts of Maria starting out sewing as well. A friend from here said I should post her again, so I did! She is my youngest of 4 granddaughters & the only one that is wanting to learn. Her twin brother, Vinnie, is now winding my bobbins. LOL He loves using the speed pedal as he calls it. He wants to learn too... so I will be starting him soon!
