My grandson who is 7 wants to learn to sew. On his last visit, I started him with explaining parts of the sewing machine, how it operated, how to read the seam allowance, etc. Then I showed him how to put the fabric together and stitch. He sewed about 3 6" strips together with a perfect seam allowance and then looked at me and said: "Ok, I know this now...I want to do a project"! LOL So we go to my fabric stash and pick out a baseball panel to make him a throw pillow for his bed! Unfortunately, he had to leave before he got to make it!
BTW, his dad (#2 son) "looked" at me like "boys don't sew" when I told him this story! HaHa. He's forgotten that I taught HIM to cross stitch at age 5 and he made several projects!!
