I'm guessing your grandkids are to young for school. Wow I can understand your stressing!You need a place to be able to put away while your working on it that is OFF LIMITS. Perhaps your bedroom and put a lock on it? Does the parent/parents live with you also? If so maybe a trip to a park or school playground while you sew is possible. I'm sure you will do great!As for forgetting what you learned in class...That's pretty much a given with me if I don't take allot of notes and practice right away LOL
