Your girls will appreciate learning how to use a sewing machine. While it’s a great skill for anyone to have, learning to sew on a machine can also help with future badge work. The Junior Independence* and Senior Room Makeover* and Science of Style* badges all have activities for which knowing how to use a sewing machine could be a great help. If you don’t have a machine or the skills, check with your local sewing or craft shop to see if they offer a trip. Ask around in your community too. There may be seamstresses or tailors who would love to be a guest at your troop meeting or event to share their skills.
