That's great that you are going to give classes. From what I've heard, Home Ec classes (sewing and cooking) aren't taught in the schools like they were years ago. I took both from 7th to 10th grade and loved it! My Mom taught me some sewing in the 6th grade but she was not interested a lot in sewing even tho her Mom was an excellent seamstress. My grandmother lived in ND and we were in WA so I couldn't commute to take lessons! I worked with a woman who had a classroom set up in her house to teach teens and young women to sew. She was kept busy with all the requests. No matter where the children you teach interest's lie (clothing, quilt or whatever), it's a skill that will stay with them for a lifetime!
