My sons decided to sew on their own at 4 AND 5! THE 5 year old ran the foot feed and the 4 year old the fabric until he sewed his finger!
Then at 8 the youngest wanted to make GI Joe clothes,,,, until the take up lever pinned his finger on the down stroke, and yelled help. He was trying to take the machine apart with a screw driver.
They watched me sew for years and today can tell you why something will not work.
I still make brocade vests and matching ties for the oldest to wear every day to work.
You can engage the bobbin winder so they can not sew when you are not watching.
