Jane Smiley once wrote that sewing with your kids was sure to bring tears and accusations, or something like that. My copy of A Thousand Acres is not close at hand.
You know what's even better than tears and accusations? Paying someone else to sew with your kid, especially when you don't really know what you're doing with a sewing machine.
All of this is to say, "Hooray, Frances is taking sewing classes!"
Her first project was a cloud-shaped pillow. She seems to really enjoy the kids in her class, her teacher and the sewing itself. I think she may have found her thing. Right now, she's learning to sew herself a skirt. How cool to be an eight year old who can sew her own clothes? I certainly wasn't that cool. Very impressed with this kid.
