Bud,
She's staying with mother(joansews) this week becaue we have bible school at night. They've been so tired during the day that they haven't done much, but the first week she was out of school she cut out shorts and a top and made those with help. She's picked her some fabric out this week. I don't know if Mother is getting a break from her next week or if she'scoming back then. I figure by the end of the summer she will have made several back to school things.

Will you post a picture when you can? I have been sharing the information you told us about how she is serging fabric and doing seams with a girlfriend of mine who has an interested young grand daughter. She asked my opinion if the 5 year old was too young.....my belief is never too young or old. So thanks....just wonder how our "Junior Miss Sewer" was doing. Budster

The little one is wanting to cut out her own things but she is left handed. She kept trying with my scissors but she was chewing the things out. I finally found a mid size pair of squeeze ones. Haven't had her here again to see how they do.

When she was here last, she wanted black shorts with panther paw prints embroidered...school mascot & colors. We go to Walmart & I head to the $ & 2$ tables & all the black was thin. I tell her there is no bottom weights there & when I finish looking to see if there's anything I can use, I will check their other fabric. I had hardly had time to notice that she had walked away from me till she had lugged a bolt to the cutting table & said, "I found me some bottom weight & it's $3.77 a yard. How much do I need?" The clerk about freaked out because she did have the correct type we needed. She said something to her about me making her some shorts & she told her she was going to make them.

What was funny was me telling her mother (Who does not sew) that she decided if she cut her fabric one layer at a time it would be easier since she was cutting thick stuff with her left hand with right handed scissors. Her mother didn't know you cut 2 layers at a time when you cut things out!! She probably couldn't have found the "bottom weight" fabric either.

Love it!! What a smart cookie - and her mother doesn't sew?I thought she did.....is Logan Auntie? I'm just trying to get the relationship right in my head....gee, I can't wait for my newest great to arrive...told my niece (it's her brother's wife who is expecting) I want another great niece! They are in Texas....and I've been eyeing some Canada flag fabric....so who knows what will become of it...I'm thinking pillowcase dress!! with little panties....my nephew would love it!

That would be too cute. Today is Canada Day, so happy Canada Day Bud! Actually, I'm Madison's cousin. I'm an only child, her mother is my first cousin and we're as close as sisters and the same age. Madison calls DH "Uncle", but she calls me "SuSu" a family nick name for the last 36 1/2 years. When she's frustrated with me she says "Susannnnn", it's funny. They're going to the beach next week so I need to make her another beach dress. She had one 3 years ago that's too little. I found some fabric on ebay like her original one, but I'm gonna do this one pillowcase style.

How nice you have someone to share your talents with. My only other sewer in my whole family is a SIL who sold her serger "I'm not using it...so you are our only sewer " (and her with two grandbabies to sew for (both girls too!).... I sewed for all my nieces over the years making them all the fancy dresses and things...I sewed for my DD but as she is disabled sewing is not quite a skill for her. She tries but is easily overwhelmed. So now I sew for the great nieces....so I'm hoping for another girl! I think Madison will be so gratefully and look upon you and your mom as her lifelines when it comes to sewing....I think it is one of the best things we can pass onto youngsters...so I salute your efforts and time you spend with your cousin (bet she calls you Auntie anyway!!) She is one smart little girl...you can tell she shares your sewing passion (as well as your stash!!) Get her to apply at Walmart...bet she knows more than some of the salesgirls there!
