My AF son married a wonderful German woman with a 6 yr old daughter 2.5 years ago. My son took sewing in 6th grade as part of a "Life Management Skills" class. Move forward a few years & I bought him a basic sewing machine for him to use to sew patches on his uniform saving him approx., $20.00 per uniform.
I sewed for GD Ellie. They were both fascinated. When we went over to visit in 2016, we had a sewing day. Ellie, her mom and I made a tote bag for Ellie. Then when they came home in July, Ellie & I sewed a pillowcase, and mom and I sewed jersey pants for baby sister. I am fairly sure we would sew more together if they lived closer.
Happy day!

I taught my GD's to sew and they are so grateful! One lives on a boat and she can sew sails, curtains, etc. They lost their boat in Hurricane Maria, and are looking for a replacement boat, but so are hundreds of other folks. She will inherit one of my sewing machines one day, probably my Singer 401A which she loves.

Congratulations! I taught my granddaughter to sew & like you, gave her a sewing machine. It's a good feeling to be asked to teach someone. Even adults! I've taught two now and am so proud of both of them!!
