Thank you Dunstar, that is the help I was looking for. It was the mom's who asked my DIL. I think it is the former MIL that was teaching the granddaughter and I certainly do not want to interfere there. Since she is my granddaughter's friend maybe I can just have her visit with Ava and we can sew together, in this way I am not stepping on toes and she has new ideas, like all suggested.
