I spent the last five days teaching kids to sew. It was a blast. The classes were held at the local Hancock fabric store for four days with five girls. Their ages range from 7-12yrs old. The first day I helped them learn the sewing machine while demonstrating different types of stitching and seam allowances like 5/8", 3/8", 1/2". and 1". They made a pillowcase, a pair of pajama bottoms and appliqued their initials on a tote bag.
One of my days was spent at the local library conducting a sewing craft session for over 35 kids and their moms. The ages there were from 3-12yrs old. They had loads of fun cutting out shapes, hand sewing and sewing on the machine. The moms were a big help with the younger children.
It was a great experience for me to work with such a variety of ages. When given the opportunity; I will take the time to teach sewing to anyone.
