well my Grannie taught me to sew. So far out of 4 dd's only 1 has any interest in sewing. Both the older girls can fix seams, hem pants, take up pants (not good but...) but ONLY when they have to! DD #3 is a total clutz with any needle! lol! DD #4 though.....is going to be the one! She's 10 and has already designed and made most of her first quilt. She found a pic online of a quilt she liked, drew out what she wanted, picked her fabric, helped cut it out, and sewed the rows. I put the rows together and will more than likely do the actual quilting for her though. She is always in there making something on the sewing machine! For Christmas I got her her very own little sewing kit and she was thrilled with that!
