I got a sewing machine for kids at JoAnn's when I taught my DGD to sew. Showed her how it works explained everything to her and she made a little quilt for her dolls, but she was 7 at the time, she is 9 now. She moved away and is coming for a couple of weeks and is already talking about wanting to make some quilts for her dolls again. I got rid of the sewing machine when she left, so I will let her used my mom's old machine. She had a great time learning and we had a blast sewing together. :)
