I started at 9 with my mother's help. It wasn't long before I tried it when she wasn't with me and I sewed a needle through my finger. I've been sewing ever since but I quickly learned that it wasn't a toy. I'm sure it depends on the child, but I remember wanting to sew for quite a while before she would let me.

both my daughters started when they were about 4 with very simple things - the eldest continued (but not the youngest) and she now makes the most beautiful corsets - self taught haven't got her into quilting yet she prefers me to do that!!!

Kids sitting on my lap helping me sew when they are 3 or 4. It depends on the child though, when they get to advance from that. Some are very safety conscious at 5 others not til way older :D:D:D
