This is my youngest boy, sewing on his great-great grandmother's 27-4. He will be 8 years old in a couple of weeks, the machine is 111 years old made in 1903. My heart fills with joy to see him sewing. He has a really good feel for treadling. He wants to sew big things but we started out small just working with scraps of fabric, practicing turning corners and making nice straight lines. Last night he made a book mark for his older brother and there is a quilt show coming up here in March that I will take him to. I think he would enjoy quilting. Any other ideas for small projects a child could make with help?
If only we were all so cute sewing in our jammies.
