With all the cooks in the kitchen she should learn quite a few little lessons.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what all I should show her on the sewing part? Besides the apron? I'm not sure if she has ever sewn anything before..I know she dont have a machine. I have 4 so she can use on anytime she wants to.
Give her a yard of 1 inch gigham to teach her how to sew straight seams. I have used the paper, no thread also but it doesn't feel the same.
