I'm teaching GD's too. I started with having them learn to thread the machine, wind bobbins, etc. Then I had them sew around lines on paper. All shapes, round, square, triangle, etc. Then we moved on to fabric I found that looked like quilt patches sewn together. I had them sew on the fake quilt lines, using batting & backing. Next we made kitchen towels. Sewed pot holders & a loop to hang them. That's as far as we've gotten so far. They're in sports, so finding free time to sew isn't easy. I have some pre-cut kits I bought at a quilt show for them to do. Magnet quilts, pillowcases, aprons. I do allot of garment sewing & hope to teach them to make blue jeans eventually. Their Mom wants me to make them curtains for their bedroom for Christmas. I'm going to try to get them involved in it too.
