My daughter learned to sew, but her daughter never saw her do it and she thought Gma had to teach her how. DD surprised the GD and she helped her make a tote for her piano books. GD going to spend some time with Gma this summer and is sending me project ideas. Planting the seed is all we need to do. Later in life they will say..."I can do that!", because some one taught them #2 DIL had a sewing mother, but I've taught her more than mom has. Now she sews Halloween costumes every year for their 3 munchkins. She may be a quilter some day, but she knows how to sew now. Yes we need to pass on the tradition!
