I noticed that your grandchildren are using vintage machines. 
My youngest grand daughter is 10 and she enjoys sewing with a featherweight and my older Bernina 930. She made a tote bag after shopping my stash.

The Singer 401A will be his when my grandson is 10 or 12. I have a 50's Eldridge for my granddaughter but she is more interested in my black Singer 301A. It is my newest acquired vintage machine and it hums beautifully.
I bring a different machine with me when I go to visit at their home. LOL, they each expressed a desire to own a computerized sewing machine.
I told them kindly that they would have to save their pennies for a long time.

Congratulations on teaching the children early in their lives. This will be one fond memory of you for them in years to come.
My daughter learned to sew when she was 6. She made a corduroy dress w/zipper in first grade, now she is a quilter. We purchased her first machine when she was 7 or I would never have been able to get to use my machine. She was akways in my chair.
Loved working with the girls in 4H in clothing construction but more recently quilting. Had many grand champions. I think kids are like sponges. They soak it all up.

Memories being made, weather they every make quilts or not they will always have this to say OH! sis remember when Grandma let use sew. I just this past week end gave my youngest grand daughter a short lesson on how to make neck scarves . gave her what I had that she would need to practice with. We both loved that time together, granny here is starting to have health issues so better get these time in while I still can. Guess what we are all getting hand made scarves for Christmas this year (:
