How sweet of you to help your DN out with this...
I would love to be involved in a 4 generation cooking class too!
There could be a lot of pictures snapped, and a recipe/scrap book might fit into one of her other classes, too. :D:D:D
You may want to check out the requirements for a Home Ec course in her school district. We had certain criteria that had to be met in picking out our patterns and fabric.
We had to learn to buy fabric to match the pattern we chose.
How to lay out the pattern, what bias was, lenghtwise and cross grains.
The pattern had to have a zipper, buttons/button holes.
We had to machine hem the garmet.
We learned about needles/threads, which needles to use with what kind/weight of threads and with different fabric types.
There may have been some other requirements too, but it has been 37 years since I took this class LOL and this is all that I remember off the top of my head :D
