Hey my DS( yes son made pillowcases for each of his teachers for presents. He loves to sew. Fashion through history and art is great. My son tries to fit it in with cartoon drawings and anima. The issue is in reading an audience and social cues. I heard an interesting comment about perfection. It is our inclination to tell kids to do their best. For a giftie perfectionist this means perfect, boy what pressure, instead applaud the effort or learning opportunity.
