What my kids learned from my sewing?
Peg their own jeans back in the 1960s, Not to enter sewing room when Mom was working, stand and wait til she can take a break (what a life-saver this always was! Don't know how I did it, w/4 boys and a daughter in the middle.)
#3 son told me when he was 12 years old, "Just work a little harder, Mom, you can get it". He is now 58 and still thinks that way!
Never say "can't", say "I can do that!" It works.
Their proud Mom
