Wendi wrote in with this great letter about how she helps her 5 year old to sew - they are currently making a quilt.


Hello lovely Whip Up people! I’ve been enjoying this month’s theme of crafting with kids and I thought I’d send you a link to the post I just wrote about sewing with my daughter. She’s five and she’s been sewing with a machine since she turned four. In my post I talk about the things I do that “help” her sew (like drawing the stitching line for her to follow) and how I rigged her machine to slow it down a bit.

    This is inspiring. My five-year-old really wants her own machine and I have been looking for a kid’s sized machine. But with the right table and chair, I could just let her use my old Singer machine. A quilt of blocks is a great idea! Thanks.
