    Are you kidding me? That was adoooooorable! Nice way to train the next generation of master tailors. I believe in the power letting kids create and make on their own. Your approach is spot on. Keep it moving forward. When he is ready I'll send my measurements so he can make my custom shirts.

      Thanks so much for you comment, Scott! Much appreciated. He is quite the attention-to-detail type of little guy. He is 5 now and has sewn a few other things including his first quilt, some pirate pants for a themed birthday party, a few stuffed dolls and some smaller projects. Thanks for watching. :)

      TheCraftyGemini Just so you know, I am a school principal where a major component of ours is making and tinkering. I will share this with my teachers so they can see making in action.

      @Chantel Randleas I know this question is a couple of years old but in case anyone else was wondering, she did say it was NOT a childs sewing machine.

    Hi Vanessa, I'm 74 and have been learning from your video tutorials which are a tremendous help to me. I just saw this video this morning and your son is absolutely adorable. As a mother that raised 2 loving and respectful sons it's wonderful to see how you teach your child that sincerity and respect, there needs to be more parents like you so our world will be much better better place. I know your son is much bigger now and you have a beautiful daughter also. You and your husband are very blessed💛💙

    @ek3550 Před 2 měsíci

    What a great way to teach a young child. Making him aware of the dangers, of using the right words, timing the project to his attention span... The way he talked proved that he really got the message and enjoyed it. What a cute little guy! Thanks so much, I will use your technique with my grandkids.

  • @Eversew139

    @misspiggyblonde Před 7 lety

    Your son is so lucky, adorable, intelligent and you are such a wonderful mom. I remember watching my mom and dad sew(not pros), making needed items in the 1960's. I had to wait until I was 9th birthday to get my 1st Sears Kenmore. I still have it! Now 54, I will be teaching my 4-1/2 yr.old grandson who is all eyes & questions when I sew. Thank You! For posting a great video. Now off to find the closest the old machine is stored in.

    Sewwww Cute! I started teaching my 10 year old Granddaughter to sew on Christmas day with the new machine I'd bought her. I am now teaching my 15 year old Granddaughter to sew. It is pure joy to see them sew sew and to pass it on to the next generation.

  • @anitawilliams7646
    @anitawilliams7646 Před 4 lety +1

    Oh my goodness! You are an AMAZING teacher. I was a teacher for 39 years. Your style and approach is so well done! You are also wise to allow your son to use the equipment because clearly, he is ready to use it. I am so impressed by his knowledge about sewing. One can tell that he really knows what he is talking about. He is not just reciting sentences. You should start your own sewing school. Many people can sew. But few know how to teach children to do it. Start your sewing school. You have the gift of teaching.

  • @carolemuenzer5490
    @carolemuenzer5490 Před 4 lety

    The Joy of Learning! I saw a very sharp little fellow with great ability to learn and interact. My two brothers sew, bake,hunt, fish and love all things technical. They have built cars, home, computers, applications, etc. They are all around engineers! I love that you are encouraging him to learn what he is interested in and you are a great Big Sister, mama.:)

  • @markie3394
    @markie3394 Před 8 měsíci

    So excited to see your little guy sewing! My great niece just asked me if I could teach her daughter to sew because they got her a sewing machine for Christmas. It’s been 40 years since I taught my own kids to sew and they were probably the age of your little man. Your tips are wonderful! I sat my own kiddos in my lap and had them place their hands on mine. I actually think they were still in diapers! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤

  • @michellehall7936
    @michellehall7936 Před 9 lety +4

    My seven year old wants to learn and I got her a basic kid sewing machine. But after seeing this I'm going to take it back and get a REAL one. She's starting a sewing class at school after Christmas. Thanks and your son is such a cute amazing little boy.

  • @SherbertPipWish

    Anytime he said Camera friends, I just wanted to smile! I love how you didn’t just teach him how to sew, but the safety measures and why. Kids always end up asking why they shouldn’t do something, so I’m glad that you took that factor into account.

  • @joreyes8738
    @joreyes8738 Před 10 lety

    I just started sewing a few weeks ago and my 5 yr old son just loves sitting next to me and watching. He wants to learn with me! After watching this video, I am encouraged to start teaching him :) He is a great listener and very careful too!! Oh, this is going to be fun!!!

    @BJ7481 Před 10 lety

    I just saw this video, your son is so cute with his sewing machine. You are a awesome mom. This video reminds me of my granddaughter sitting on my lap your son's same age and sewing quilt squares. I told her the same thing keep your fingers away from the needle, letting her feel the sharp tip so she knew it would hurt if she put her finger in the (no fingers zone) we called it. She made herself a little doll quilt. She is now 16 years old and we still have that little quilt.

  • @treaver17

    Great Job Jonathon. He is so eager to learn and do it "himself". You are going to have so much fun sewing together. He is adorable! I like how he corrected himself every time he said needles instead of pins..lol. Great Job Mom!

  • @michdawn01
    @michdawn01 Před 11 lety +1

    This is very inspiring! My girls asked for a sewing machine for Christmas also. I really love the way that you stand back and give him a chance to grow. He is a very mature little guy. I say his almost ready for his own show!! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!

    @debbiecallens1316 Před rokem +1

    10 years ago! He's grown! My 13 year old grandson sewed his first project this past year. He made a pocket pillow! I'm so proud of him. When he asked why he needed to learn to sew, I told him because I wouldn't be around to sew for him forever and his future wife might not sew. I got the biggest grin from him!

It would be great if all schools incorporated this skill into the curriculum because its really important.

    I got my 7 year old daughter one of the felt sewing machines for Christmas and she loved it. I started feeling bad because she said "it's not like yours mommy". But she loved it. So this weekend I am going to teach her how to use "my" sewing machine. I think she is going to so well. Thank you for sharing this. You're little guy is super cute.

  • @thevictorianedge5465
    @thevictorianedge5465 Před 7 lety

    I forgot to add that my son wanted his own machine too and now he has one of his own. I think it's awesome that the next generation is learning and interested. I took a little sewing class last fall so I could learn to read patterns, my son went with me....he jumped right in there showing the ladies different things on their machines like the thread cutter etc!!!

  • @GardensLadyBug
    @GardensLadyBug Před rokem +2

    I started teaching my granddaughter, age 5, to hand sew. I didn't even think about using a machine. I decided to see if anyone else out there were teaching young ones. Love your video. PS I created her own sewing kit and taught her the tool's names. I punched holes in cardboard for her first lesson, that spelled out her name. She picked a new color for each letter. For those willing to teach, these young ones are sponges and will learn it all. My son, at age three, had to teach his baby sitter, age fourteen, how to use our electric can opener.

    @carolann326 Před 10 lety +1

    My 12 year old grandson was watching me quilt and he wanted to do one for his younger brother. I had some left over half triangle squares that he arranged and put together. He had some great ideas and I worked with him but he took the lead. Then I quilted it for him and he proudly gave it to his 10 year old brother. It was a fun time with him. He was so proud of himself and so was I proud of him. The seed has been planted so let's see what happens next. Loved your little boy and how well he worked with you. He is very good on camera. Congratulations Mama.

    I think it is great that you are teaching your son to sew. He is sooo cute and smart as can be. I taught my teenage daughter how to quilt last year. I think I overwhelmed her by doing too much too soon. I now know to do shorter sessions over time as you said. Lesson learned. Great video. Looking forward to watch little man learn to sew.

    I appreciate this video along with many of your others. After not sewing since being a teen, I have returned to sewing and crafting recently. After watching this adorable video, it has inspired me to also teach my soon to be 3 year old daughter to also take up the craft once I purchase her a similar machine for herself. You provided extra safety tips and ideas which were helpful so no judgment here for starting him off early. AMAZING! Thank you.

    Thank you for doing this one! My two year old is really interested in everything my husband and I do. She's not quite ready for it, might need to wait a year or two or five. Or at least until she can use scissors :D
    Your kid is ADORABLE.

    He’s adorable and now a BIG boy judging from the date this was posted. I’m teaching my granddaughters to sew Friday so I’m incorporating some of your tips. 🥰

    I have been teaching my daughter with the Janome Sew Mini. I find that it doesn't sew quite as fast as my machine and thus doesn't get away from her so easily. She is almost done with her first full size quilt top, and it is turning out amazing. Good for you for teaching your son, it will benefit him greatly. My son has started asking to make a quilt as well and we are gathering the fabric to make a Mario Bros. quilt for him. It is all just squares and straight lines so he is excited to try it.

    OMG, he is adorable. Thanks for this video, I was thinking about doing the same thing with my grandbaby who will be 3 in November. I sew all of the time and she is always helping. She has asked for a sewing machine and I will get her a real one too.

    Love it!! I just bought my 7 year old niece a sewing machine - Singer Tradition 2277. I'm watching videos on how to teach her. I taught myself as a teen asking the fabric store personnel how to read the patterns each time I bought one!! Can't wait to teach her!!
