I do something like that with my grandson. He enjoys watching me hand embroider and from time to time wants to do a stitch or two, so I let him pull the needle and direct him in how the stitch needs to be done. Now he has taken to coming into the sewing room to watch me sew when i'm in there, asking questions all the time. I don't see how we expect our youth to learn something if we don't teach them. I don't know if we still have home ec classes in school that make sewing a part of the lesson plan.
That was great of you to take her in and teach her. Even better I bet she will remember it for a very long time to come.
I still don't want anyone in the kitchen though when i'm cooking. :mrgreen:
