Omak,
You sound like a great teacher. Thanks for your ideas and input. I feel they need to do most of taking seams apart for themselves. It reminds them to go slower if they're not sure they're doing. I encourage them to ask questions rather than plunge into a project, making lots of mistakes.
I understand wanting to make complicated items, but without basics they will get too overwhelmed and give up. That's not what I want to pass on to them.
It reminds me when I begged my Aunt to let me iron blue jeans with really heave starch when I was about 8 y.o. When she came back, I'd attempted to iron about 6 pairs, but not to her standards. Re-doing them was a humbling experience. She told me, "if something's worth doing, it's worth doing right the first time." I've thought about that many times and if I catch myself trying to rush my sewing/ironing, etc., I have to stop myself & think, do it slower & do it right the first time.
