Another member, abconsultant gave me some good stuff too. I've been trying to do this for months so I am floating on cloud nine right now. I just want everything to turn out positive because the women here have so many preconceptions about american women and many are not so good. If course I will keep you all posted and I will post pictures if the women are open to it. You all rock!
I liked the idea of having a sample for them to see but would also have sample of the project in the various stages. That way after they finished a step, they could see if it looked like how you had yours. (right sewn together or not? Something upside down?, etc.) Encourages them that they passed that part of it and can continue on. If they did something wrong, it would be easier to correct it during a part phase than after it is all put together.
