I have been sewing clothing since I was 14, I am 5' 10" & was taught by my Mother who was 6' so we had to make clothing for us that was long enough. I stopped sewing for quite some time & finally I am disabled & can't work so took up quilting I am a beginner but my grand daughter at the age of 5 hand sewed a pillow case for my husbands knee pillow, it's still holding together! She watched me with some cutting & sewing for a quilt & took it right up using my scraps. She picked through the scraps & came up with almost all the scraps from a lap quilt I made for my husband, she didn't realize they were mostly the same fabrics. I think she is going to pass me up with the quilting. She is now 13 and has made dog quilts for almost all 4 of my dogs. I have willed all my fabric & 4 sewing machines to her which she is tickled about but would rather be sewing along side her Gammy
