I think it's great that your kids sew. Both my DD and DS took home ec in junior high. My DS majored in music theater in college. He worked in the costume shop to earn spending money. He lives in NYC now. Couple of years ago while home for a few days at Christmas, he asked if I would help him make aprons for his roommates for gifts. He picked a pattern and the material and away he went. They came out great. He has made his own curtains for his apartment too.
