My 9 yo GD loves to sew. Taught her and her mother this summer. When I got my new Janome Horizon, I gave them my Bernina 135. They were thrilled. DIL has made 4 aprons for her, Emma, her mom and sister. Did a really good job. Makes me so happy they love my hobby. Of course, little brother (7) likes to sew too - he makes blankies for his monkey!
