I am now 70 yrs old, teaching my 9 and 7yr oldDGDs to sew and sent them home with a machine last visit. They are pretty smart little cookies, figured out the buttons and knobs and were making pillow cases on the second day. We made a bolster pillow together, I embroidered and they stitched pillow cases for friends' b-day gifts. We had a blast. Don't discount 10yr old's ability to sew![/QUOTE]
agree whole-heartedly. let her create before giving patterns that lock in. too much structure will constrict. i learned on my own at 11. just sat down with machine and fabric. give her the tools and let her go. pillow cases and decorative pillows are good starters.
yea for her and have fun.
