too cute .. YES indeed start them young-One of the guys came over from work and brought the wife and kids. Ended up giving them a few pieces of material and told em to go home and make something- Mom had never taught them how to use the sewing machine. They are 9 and 11-told mom to get em going on a straight stitch pot holders.
I learned at my grandmother's knee and then my mother also taught me many things about sewing .. Patience for sure.. Maybe I will have them over again and get out a machine and let them sew on it. Give them the bug!LOL
