When he asks what I'm doing I tell him sewing, or embroidery or serging a seam etc. but it's too much for him to remember so he lumps it all together as "fixing". He brings me every loose thread he finds on his clothing for me to snip it off. He loves the machines but wants to touch them while they are running so I've had to tell him that they bite! He is very interested in watching me rethread or fill bobbins and will chase after snips of thread that fall to floor. He's now requested a cape with an "S" so he can fly, lol.
