Hey guys, I ran into an interesting situation this weekend. My 9 year old daughter Elisabeth wanted to learn how to sew. My wife hates to sew, and I ve been sewing camping gear for several years now, so I guess its my job! It ended up being a really cool bonding time between father and daughter----I showed her how the machine works, and we sewed up a couple of small stuff sacks out of scraps . She loves it! (and shes a lot lighter on the sewing pedal than I am!) Elisabeth brought one of her new stuff sacks to school today, and had all kinds of people ask here where she got it , and she had several offers to buy one! I asked her if she told the kids her dad helped her sew------she answered "no, they would think that was kind of strange!" The one person she did tell about her sewing dad, just kind of looked at her like she was crazy, until Elisabeth explained that her dad sews camping gear---they found that to be acceptable and kind of cool! Anyway, I thought you might get a kick out of that story!
