Great job on the pillowcase. My granddaughter has been staying with me for a week and has finished a set of pillowcases, a machine embroidered wall quilt, and a pillow she made after shaving cream dying. Today we are going to bling up T-shirts. And you actually can quilt/sew with 4 and 5 year olds. Use glue instead of pins and guide the little fingers. Grandkids are so much fun.

What a nice project for her to take with her, and now she can sleep with it, and dream all about her special summer holiday with you!

I spent two weeks with my GD and got her on the sewing machine post haste. She loved it! Hopefully a sewer in my future. I need the company since neither one of my DD's sews. *sigh* where did I go wrong?

Today GD#3--almost 8 yo--is sewing on paper. Remember those days?
