sewmom

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.
