I sew with my great grand sons (no little girls "sigh") and they love it. One calls himself the designer. He can draw a Minecraft character and place all the squares on a project board for me to sew together. We've done an entire lap quilt and several pillows. Two of them actually sew things. We have done pillowcases, pillows and even zipper bags. Each one of my boys have different attentions spans and different degrees of judging themselves. I have to keep reminding one of them that nobody will see his "mistakes". Now my granddaughter (their mother) wants to make a quilt with me. I am loving the time we spend creating toghether. Your tips are all great. Thank you.
I just started teaching my five year old granddaughter to sew, starting with teaching hand stitching with yarn on canvas. We are ready to try machine sewing, so I appreciate the tips on ergonomics. I do plan to operate the speed/foot pedal to start. I just bought a machine with a speed control to make things easier than my 40 year old machine that can go crazy! So fun. These are great tips, so happy I found your video.
Thank you for sharing. I’m a homeschool mom and I’m incorporating sewing to our homeschool classes. She already made her first quilt and she’s super happy. This tips are great. I need to ask you something. It’s been really hard for me to find good left handed scissors and motions for her. Do you know any good resource to find this?
Ginger does make left handed scissors. They are hands down the best fabric scissors you can get. For little cuts, the micro tips we have on our website work in either hand. Rotary cutters can also go either way. Just reverse the side the blade is on for the rotary cutter.

That's so special! Thank you for sharing!
As an early childhood educator I love your overall point about process, attention span, and current development levels.
Thank you!
