The perfect age to begin teaching little ones to sew. My GD, was the same age, last summer, when we started to sew together. Whenever I go out to their house I now bring my sewing machine so we get some girl time together. Her first quilt is sitting here to be worked on next time we are together. Even if it is only practicing she is in love with my sewing machine. A friend of mine made a 'finger guard' for her machine. I need to get a look at it so I can make one. My GD is a bit high strung (aren't all 7-8 yr olds). It is so much fun being a Nana!
