What I like to do best of all is to teach kids how to sew. They are like sponges. The soak up the information really quickly. They are always eager to try new ways of doing things. They are not afraid of handling the sewing machine. Most kids are ready to jump right in and start sewing. Often I have to settle them down and teach them that they must first learn the basics. I love the creativity and willingness to try new things.
Some people still think that kids can't learn how to sew because they are too young to understand it all. I learned to sew when I was 10 years old and I loved it. Now some of my students are 8 years old. When I taught sewing at Joann's in Fayetteville, Georgia, I had a student who was 7 years old. She couldn't reach the foot pedal. We had to put a phone book under the pedal.
