My two girls-now 26 & 28 both made a skirt and bookbag in 4H when they were young. neither sew now. they both did a little cross-stitch-neither do it now. i gavwe my son a sewing kit before he got married and he thought it was a joke! I said- at the very least when i come over, I'll have the stuff to sew buttons back on for you. Now he's married and moved far away so i can't even mend for him. the girls and grandsons live near me so i get their mending. The oldest GS(7) saw me knitting with a round loom and wanted to learn, so that's a beginning. I have helped my friend make 3 baby quilts- does that count?
