My granddaughter had her last sewing lesson for the summer. She has done fantastic with not only the sewing, but also setting up and threading the machine, taking it apart and putting it away, and keeping me very entertained with her stories. Some of the things she talks about are so much about her generation and beyond anything I could imagine for myself at age 11.
Today, our dog wanted in on the action too. She got underneath the sewing table and put her head in my granddaughter's lap. Geesh.
We had so much fun over the summer, sewing together and telling stories. She wants to sew some clothes next and we'll have to see how her Middle School schedule will work out for her.
Any ideas on easy clothes to start with?
What fun to sew with a granddaughter!!!! Simple patterns like leggings, pajama bottoms, raglan style t-shirts, elastic waist skirts are good places to start. Knits are great for easing pieces together. --TerryK@OnGoingProjects
