Hello Gavin!
And a great big welcome from the other side of the pond!
How lucky your little girl is to have a father to help her with sewing.
First time my Dad helped me with a project, I think I was 20 and a hose in my car's engine was clogged. After having me raise the hood, he graciously pointed out which hoses I needed to remove, clean out with gasoline and replace. He promptly returned to his chair in front of the TV in the den.
