Teaching others to sew is very rewarding. I have been teaching sewing for over twenty years. I teach mostly kids. They are always eager to learn and they have fun learning about fashion and the numerous techniques. Kids like to see finished projects. When I first introduce them to sewing; I have them make some thing small like a stuffed animal. Beginners always start by learning hand sewing techniques. Then they move to the sewing machine.
The reason why I start them out with hand sewing is because they will at some time in their sewing adventures have to sew something with needle and thread. Some of the kids are anxious to get on the sewing machine. However, there is so much to learn to operate the sewing machine it takes a lot of time to learn.
Kids love to learn and create. Starting them off with hand sewing gives them a good sense of accomplishment.
