my 5 year old grandson is with me a lot and wants to be in the middle of everything i do he is old enough for some scissors so i give him fabric to cut and he sits beside me to sew we have strict rules on touching the machine. but i make sure he is a part of what ever i do he asks everyday how much longer till i can sew on the machine? i know at her age she is not quite old enough for that but get her some fabric and play scissors even if you can't sew "right now" because you have to help her sew... it will help you in the long run as she will want to be with you and learn sorry there is no short term answer except stay up late ... but i would start working with her now, to give you some peace later
