My 17 year old daughter occaisionally sews. She has mostly made clothes for herself. Simple things like flannel pants, a few tops, and rod pocket curtains for her bathroom. I don't think she loves to sew, but she does know how.
My oldest son had to take Home Ec in 7th grade. (The school has since stopped teaching Home Ec.) He made a really, really bad sweatshirt. Either the teacher was terrible or the boy is handicapped in some what I've never noticed. He also had to hand sew a pillow. At some point, he stabbed his finger and bled a eraser sized spot on the fabric. So what did he do? He put spots and antannae on it with a Sharpie and called it a ladybug! :shock:
My 14 year old son has to restrain himself from taking my machine apart. He just cant stand knowing there are gears and cool stuff in there that he can't see. I don't think he is going to be a quilter but maybe a repairman.
