I decided to jump in with both feet and teach my DGS to sew and help them make a small quilt for their Mom for Christmas. Julian, the 8 YO caught on real quick and I set up my mechanical machine with a stack of masking tape to help him with the seams. he was sewing at full speed. Jaden the almost 6 Yo was having problems getting an even seam so I did the same for him and then he did much better. I let him use the 9000 b/c it had the speed control. he keeps forgetting to put the presser foot down, but other than that he does fine. we've only worked one afternoon so far. i have to cut out more squares and do some more planning, but here's what they've done so far. I think that i wil let them tie it, so that theywill do most of the work b/c I'll probably have to bind it. we'll see.

awwww that's so cute! I can't wait till my daughter is old enough to sew with me. What a beautiful gift - I know their mom will just love it.

Wonderful. My son --now 32--now blames me for not teaching him to sew! You could consider a pillowcase style quilt, no binding just sew all around, leaving a hole to turn, so they will have made it all. But I think they're doing a fabulous job!

Cute as can be!

Awesome! I love his look of determination as he is sewing! Everyone needs to know the sewing basics!

My 3 and 7 yr old grandsons are starting to get the bug as well!

I think I've just found out how to get my twelve year old granddaughter to sew, teach her eight year old brother. Another 9 year old GD took right to it.

You deserve a huge HUG!! Grandmothers like you give all grandmas a good reputation!!
I love doing things with my grandkids!!
