I think what you are doing is great! Your enthuiasim will be a key to the class. I think back to things I made in 4-H, and that was an easy draw string apron, pot holder, hemming a dish towel, which I wouldn't do now, pin cushion. I'd start with the sewing machine basics, cleaning and oiling, needles, using good thread, and then the new great tools of the trade we have now. I'd probably do a 4 or 9 patch pot holder or pillow, the folded coasters, a doll quilt depending on the age and interest of the group, pj bottoms. That should give you some ideas. Good luck, you're creating in the future of sewing/quilting! How exciting. :thumbup:
