Great looking grandkids and how nice to spend time sewing with them.

You're one smart grandma to get them doing something that can be a life long skill. Nice!

So much fun. I've done that too. Mine live too far away for anything on a regular basis. It's wonderful, though.

My grandson is two. I bought one of the mini machines with push button on/off. I took the needle out and he sews a strip of fabric over and over. He knows to put the foot down before sewing and a raise it up when done. He 'does his work' while I sew.

Love to do projects with my grands. Pillowcases are a great idea. I will be doing this next summer when they each spend a week at Camp Gramma. Maybe they can pick out their own fabrics. Thanks for the idea. Love the picture...beautiful kids. :)

That is wonderful. Most of my memories with my Grandmother was sewing. She didn't quilt, never knew why but her half sister taught me to quilt.

What great fun it is sewing with G-kids. One of my G-sons would come over every year & make Christmas gifts with me. He always knew what he wanted to make for his family every year. I was so sad when his interest changed to girls instead of sewing with G-Ma. Although he did make a few things for his first girlfriend. Christmas gifts would be a great project for you & your G-kids. They could make pillow cases, pot holders, place mats, microwave bowls just to mention a few items.

Looks like everyone is having a good time.

I know Grandmas that just take theirs "shopping". A little of that is alright, but I think Grandmas are put on earth to teach grandkids these things, don't you think?
