My new sewing buddy
 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]352606[/ATTACH]This is my 5 yr. old GGD she was cutting thread for me while I was doing some Red Work, she wanted to sew. So i drew a flower on material and threaded a large needle with double embroidery floss (12) strands and showed her how to do the stab stitch. Away she went now her stitches are very good. She also showed Mom's friend Mike how to do it. What a little Pro. I had so much fun with her.:thumbup:

Ohhhhhh! What a cute little seamstress. I see dedication in her eyes!! She is gonna be a quilter for sure!

Aww sweet!

Never to young to start!!!
I started embroidering at about that age. My sister (11 yrs older) was doing it were doing it, so I just followed along.

What a sweet picture! She's adorable!!!

She is just a cutie! If she's really good, how her a different stitch, maybe a chain stitch for the stem. Keep adding stitches and telling her how good she is. That's what worked for me. My grandmother taught me when I was young. The only thing, keep her first work for when she gets older. I wish my grandmother had kept mine, no matter how awful it might have been!

Such a pretty little girl, and 5 year old are so enjoyable, still childish, yet love to do big things!!

Sweet!!!!!!

adorable...such fun

So special to share this with your GGD. Such a legacy!

This picture is just so sweet. Thank you for sharing with us.

Absolutely precious!

Very Pretty little girl. I find there is nothing more fullfilling than teaching a child something new

This is so precious! What a beautiful child and what a way to spend time together :)

She is beautiful and you captured her concentration perfectly!

Another cute recruit on our side.
She's a doll.

How adorable! And now she has a new skill to last a lifetime.

AWWW...This reminds me of when my GD and I are together..we sew..sew..sew !! She is now almost 8yrs old..and she has been doing all sorts of sewing (and painting things ) since she was about 3 ! I love it...! she is very artistic.
and creative... warms your heart, doesn't it?

adorable. In addition to sewing, i teach a basic knit and crochet class weekly. There is a 8 year old child who learned crochet and her mom knitting. She watched her mom learning and taught herself, and now she helps her mom out with her knitting.

Grands and Great-Grands are so wonderful. I wish mine were nearby so I could do what you did. Thanks so much for sharing that precious picture. Hope she gets excited and stays that way with crafting.

What a sweetheart! Glad you had a great time together.

Too cute! Good for her, wanting to learn!

It is so much fun to get someone new started in needlework and such fun to have a sewing buddy.

Isn't it wonderful when they show an interest in what we do! You're passing on a skill she'll take with her through her life. Enjoy these precious moments with her. They grow so fast. Thanks for sharing.

Your granddaughter is really precious. You are getting her started on a rich future. My grandmother started teaching me to embroider, crochet, and sew quilt blocks together when I was about 5 years old.

oh how nice she is so cute!!!!

She is concentrating on her stitching! How cute!! I love to see young sewers. It is a good skil to have and one that they feel proud of what they have done.

How sweet she is. What a lucky girl to have a GGM to teach her how to sew.

So cute and she really looks like she is into her work. That's a good sign.

She is so sweet. Love that she is sewing with you already.

Never too young to learn. I started when I was 7! Definitely off to a good start. :)

She is really concentrating and is so precious. Thanks for sharing.

It is wonderful that she is beginning to sew so early. You will have much fun helping her in the future.

She is adorable!
