My son is 3 years 4 months old which is VERY young to start using a sewing machine. However, he is very careful, has great attention to detail and I knew he was ready to learn the basics. Every child is different.
With that said, click HERE to watch the video or watch it below if you are reading this post on my blog.
I hope you enjoy it! Feel free to share and pin it too! I hope more parents and grandparents will consider teaching a child in their life how to sew. It's fun, a great learning experience and a practical skill I feel everyone should have!
{p.s.- Let me just say I am beyond proud of my little man! This was only his 3rd ever sewing lesson and he did an amazing job!}
I wish I had spent more time at my Aunt's side and learned from her. My mom "public worked" and had no interest in homemaking, but my Aunt could do it all. Now, I am 47 and taking my first lessons so I can sew for my grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteHe is so adorable. Great video.
ReplyDeleteThat was just so cute. Watch out mama, he has been observing for 3 years, Jonathan is going to take over your show. I am looking foward to his first lesson teaching us.
ReplyDeleteI loved you lesson, I learned to sew on here from Vanessa, thank you again by the way. I think this great to watch to help others learn to sew, I have been teaching a couple of students, I am looking foward to some more great tips.
Thank you Jonathan and Vanessa.
so cute! my daughter (5) asked for a sewing machine for christmas and that's what she got. we have been doing exactly what you show in the video and it's been so much fun.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutly wonderful. My grand daughter will be 4 in March and I have just started teaching her about some sewing things. I am making her and her friend a play cape so today she sat on my lap and took the pins out before I got to them.She was so cute in telling me when to stop so she could do her job. You are a great inspiration. Keep up the good work and Avery and I will be watching :).
ReplyDeleteYour little guy is adorable! Thanks for the helpful--and inspiring--video!
ReplyDeleteVery cute!!! I love to see other parents sharing these wonderful skills with their children :) Quick Question- What type of machine is that?? The small machine I got for my 3 has tension issues and my machine is to expensive to risk teaching them on :(
ReplyDeletecuando era niña mi tía-abuela me regalo una máquina de coser pequeña, es un recuerdo muy especial y estaba muy enterrado en mi mente y al ver a tu chiquito precioso en su máquina me hizo recordar...
ReplyDeleteGracias por tus tutoriales yo no tengo oportunidad de entrar a un curso de costura, y realmente tus vídeos me están dando la oportunidad de aprender.
Que Dios los bendiga, gracias : )
He is so precious!!!!! I started my girls early too (around 5) They lost interest for a while but now they see me whipping out quilts and other things and are wanting to do more sewing! I am glad you shared this with us, there's a couple of things that I missed when I was teaching my eldest daughter, now that I am reminded, I can go through all the basics with them again and feel confident
ReplyDeleteOMGosh!! Just adorable. Your son AND his sewing. He is one smart cookie. You are a great mother. Keep up the good work with him. Thanks for the video. Look forward to many more with him.
ReplyDeleteI have a master's degree in early childhood education and development and you are so on target with what you are doing with your son. You are developing his vocabulary and fine motor skills as well as his emotional bond with you. Great job, mom!
ReplyDeleteI love watching your videos! I have started teaching my 6 year old to sew as she is showing lots of interest in it when I am sewing. I was taught quite young by my grandmother and I am so excited to be teaching my daughter now too.
ReplyDeleteJust watched your video with my six year old and she is excited to get a little more independent on my sewing machine. Thanks for the great tips!
