My "mini me" learned to sew yesterday
 

My neighbor's daughter, Sydney came over yesterday with her new little sewing machine. She learned what the parts of the machine are called, how to sew a straight line and not run over her fingers. She also learned how frustrating it is to have to stop and rethread your needle! LOL It was a great afternoon. She wants to make a pillow for her bed. I think we can manage that :) Maybe next week!

Sydney and I love the same things - crafts, pink, girly lace and frills, shoes that sparkle or light up and now sewing. Hence, my "mini me". Her Nana just taught her to knit too! I'm amazed how fast she is able to learn and master all these skills. She just recently turned 7.

Thanks for looking.

cute new quilter!

Awww great job!! She's so cute!!

Wow, great job on those.... a nice pretty pink sewing machine for a pretty girl!

How special. Cute machine for a cute girl. She looks like she loves it. Hats off to her grandmother and to you. BrendaK

Please tell Sydney that she did a great job!!!!!!!

She is so precious! Great job!! My GD just got the same machine and has been busy sewing with her mom. It is so exciting to see the young ones sewing! Many Happy Hours of Quilting to you both!!:thumbup:

what a great age to learn new crafts. she'll be greatful to you forever. what a cutie too.

Congratulations mini me and kookalbell! You are a natural at sewing. Keep up the good work.

I taught my nine year old niece to crochet over the Christmas holiday. How fun!

How adorable is she!!!!! Great job.

So many happy memories for this little cutie. It looks like she will be a natural.

How fun to have a quilty friend! She's adorable

Great Job and keep her learning... My grandchildren love the stories that tells something about how this block came to be...Thanks for sharing

I think most Grandparents (grandmothers) are so proud to hand down the arts the we have learned, maybe from our grandparents and the great grandmothers and etc. I know I'm. A couple of my granddaughters love to go down and check out what I am working on and if she can get her blocks (I gave her a drawer to keep her pieces in.) the grandboys just mostly ask what I am working on, and proceed in giving me their opinions. which I really enjoy. but they always ask who is the lucky one.

Congratulations, Sydney! Great job! Thank you for you, too, for taking the time to work with her. Her smile says it all!

Adorable little girl and she is well on her way. Cute little quilt.

Great job! She is adorable. I sew with my dgd sometimes but she is more interesting in make-up now!LOL

Sydney is beautiful in sew many ways. My DGD and DGS each know how to sew with my machines and they love it. What is the brand of sewing machine Sydney received?

sew precious

Beautiful and talented girl!!

The brand is "Totally Me". I think I saw this on Amazon. She got it from her grandma from Ohio. Today she was teaching her twin brother how to use the machine. He was most interested in pushing the foot pedal. She's practicing on her own today sewing the 2 and 1/2 inch blocks together in a continuous thread. Her mother (who can't sew on a button) told me Syd was "sewing some sort of banner" lol

Oh how sweet and when she gets older she will always remeber you teaching her to sew i always remeber my mothers neighbor teaching me crafts she did a great job!

Oh this is just so cute. She is hooked already it seems. I want to see you both with your light up shoes on. lol. Do you still have your website? I tried to find it but the link won't take me there.

She is absolutely adorable. Hope you are able to keep fun projects for her to sew.

What a cutie!

happy fabric, happy quilter, lucky girl to have you!

Wow, can't wait until Baby Willa is old enough to start teaching her how to quilt. And look at those blocks and how the corners come together perfectly!! Nice job Mini Me.

Another quilter in the making.

New member of the quilting world, she is adorable and a great quilter.

You are a great neighbor, and teaching her at such a young age with the correct skills will stick with her!

She's adorable! So is her choice of fabric.

What fun! I can't wait to see if my GD will be inclined to make quilts, crochet or other projects that we can share.

What a cutie! Neat that you two have these precious times together to teach her great things! :)

You must be the coolest neighbor ever. So nice of you to teach her the basics and get her started on a lifelong love of sewing. She looks so happy and proud. Please post a picture of her pillow when she finishes.

Thank goodness for patient, kind neighbors! Beautiful all the way around!

awesome to see the young ones sewing

She is off to a good start.

She's doing a great job. My granddaughter is 9 and took her first sewing lesson last Saturday and will take a second one this coming Saturday. She loves crafts; and after watching her mother sew (a beginner), she wanted to take up sewing also.

Kids are smarter than we realize sometimes. Adorable mini me and she did a great job and so did you. Both of you keep up the good work, and pictures.

What a cutie and I like her little dolly quilt top!
