Grandma Time

 When my grandkids got a little older, I decided to do a sewing project with them.  A couple of them were still pretty young (4 years old) so there was more help involved.  I chose this pattern : https://www.sewsimplehome.com/2018/03/create-custom-pillowcase-using-burrito.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=pinterest&utm_campaign=tailwind_smartloop&utm_content=smartloop&utm_term=33712628  , but there are many out there.  I let the kids pick their fabric, and tried not to influence them.  Their idea of what was cute was a little different than mine, but I wanted them to remember the experience as one they were able to choose.  I used the rotary blade to cut, but let them pin it.  I let them sew if they wanted, or just push the pedal, or just push the fabric through.  They loved the final product.
