Lock him in his room. No, really try to get him involved in helping you. some little something that he can do. Most kids like to be of help.

Whenever you're finished working on the dress for the day, put it up on a high shelf, or in your closet- somewhere he can't reach or isn't allowed to go. It sounds like leaving by your machine will not be an option unless you find a really good hiding place for it.

Best of luck!

So your brother is old enough to know better and is doing it deliberately? Have you asked one of your parents to intervene?

Talk to your parents. Or make him fix it. give him a crah course and put him to work. You could also find something he likes and thretin him with it.

I think this is definitely a situation which requires some parental intervention. Perhaps you should try finding a time when your brother is not around to work on the dress... or asking a friend if you can work on it/leave it at there house until you're finished.

idea Threaten to through his fav toy in the fire pllace or in the creepy old nieghbors yard, or the classic flush it.

7 year olds r awful, my step brothers like that. But yeah put it where he cant get to it, or where he wouldnt look for it. I suggest getting a combination lock for a dresser, if u get a pad lock u may lose the key and brother may find it. Keep the combonation in a safe place. ( the mind perferably)

Personally I'd kill him but that's just me and it's kinda illlegal sweatdrop

well he's ALWAYS around and i don't have a friend that lives close enough to leave it at their house.
