My grandma is a gentle old lady. Like many women of her time, she has a talent for sewing（缝纫）. She made all my childhood clothes on her own. As a young girl，rather than playing outside with my friends, I liked staying with my grandmother to help her sew. I was so interested in getting the thread（线）through the eyes of the needle（针）.
Later, instead of making clothes, my grandmother would sew gloves or insoles（鞋垫）for me. She cannot be with me all the time, but the love passed by her needle and thread warms me.
It was my grandma who sparked my enthusiasm（热情）for sewing and taught me how to show love and care. Almost a year ago, I was trying to give a birthday present to my friend. Then, I thought, “ Why don’t I sew her a gift ” I decided to make her a pencil case. I cut out the pattern（图案）from my old skirt, drew a design and started sewing. It took me many days to finish it. The final result wasn’t as pretty as I imagined. But it was the best pencil case that I could make.
Just yesterday, my friend called me and said that every time she sees the pencil case, she thinks of me and the warm feeling.
