She loves to sit on my lap and help me sew she doesn't touch the machine. And when I use the embroidery machine she loves to watch it.I bought her a little pink sewing machine all her own. So although I don't work out of the home believe me I work real hard in the home.
Crafty you will have help sewing before you know it! My GD is 8 now and has been using my machines as much as possible. Tierra started with hand piecing when she was 5.5 years old. She uses my featherweight, it is a good size for a little one, and asked if she could have it, soooo I gave it to her.
I am going to start helping a lady(90+years young) with her quilting. I think it will be a major learning experience for me too.
