My DGD Miranda came over for the day to sew. She's 13. She did aittle sewing a few years ago and made a Red Riding hood Cape for Halloween. Today she wanted to make some rice bags and a pot holder. I started her from scratch. New needle in the machine thread up and wind bobbin, press your material to be sure it's wrinkle fee,lay it out on the cutting board, square it up, measure up and mark pieces you need. Next came cutting ,pinning sewing and pressing seams on wrong side then right side. finish up and trim. I've listed each step, because that's the way I had her work. I explained each step as she went along and then had her do them. I stood a distance away so that she could work on her own. I hope this young lady decided to go further with her sewing. She's a natural. Careful attentive and very neat, She cut so well with a scissors, looks like she used a rotary cutter. She wanted to know if she needed to pin, I told her not if she didn't want to. Just explained how to hold and guide her fabric. We had a ball. She knows she can come over anytime she wants to sew, Grammie is happy o have her. I'll post some pictures tomorrow. Juno
