I have started my kids sewing and I love that there are still a few Walmarts around that sell fabric because I cannot afford to let my kids cut into my expensive quilting fabric, but buying bargain fabric for them to learn on is great. They LOVE going to JoAnns and Walmart with me if I tell them I will let them pick out a yard or two of fabric. When we go to a Walmart that doesn't have fabric, they are disappointed. They are actually asking to go to the fabric department BEFORE they go to the toys. It is great! (They are 5 and 8).
