I'm teaching my 10yo dd to sew. She's helped me work on dresses for her, she's made a nine patch pillow by hand, and she is now working on her own quilt. She found a picture online of a quilt she liked and printed it off and brought it to me to ask if she could make one like it. She picked out her fabrics from my meager stash and then we figured out block sizes and how many she would need to fit her bed. I did most of the cutting for her but she has done all the sewing. the top is almost together. I also give her free access to fabric and the sewing machine. She sometimes just sews lines and sometimes she makes little bags.
