Sophie Sews

I told Sophie she could use the sewing machine by herself when she turned seven. She is seven now and she can sew. I was very surprised when she could do it so well.
She started hand sewing when she was five and I think that kept her interest until she could start sewing on the machine. I am so proud of her, she has remembered everything I have taught her.

Sophie has been in the sewing room with me since she was three, watching me and participating in one way or another. She would sit on my lap when she was small, put the presser foot up and down, cut the threads and all the various little things there are to do. She loved to get the straight pins and stick them all in a piece of fabric or cut a chosen fabric up in a hundred little pieces. I am so pleased to be able to take this sewing journey with her.
