Grab a friend who can act like a 'newbie.' She/he will be able to find where you might need to do more explaining. it helps if this friend really is a 'newbie' or at least has a different thought process than you.
Table runners are quickly completed. The students can do the various steps in class and then do another at home.
Rail Fence is the easiest to do. Then graduate up.
Lots of printed instructions help as well as being able to contact you via e-mail. [No phone calls unless you really want them.]
When I taught in schools we had to make a supply list, skill list, and then an outline of each class with measurable outcomes. This works with any teaching.
Enjoy.
