Hi. Great they asked you to teach. When I gave classes my group wanted to make something quick for their room. Simple to do and gives a feeling of being able. They choose a stuffed pillow Some used a quilt block to which they sewed a border onto it. They did the cutting,a little guidance here, turned it right side out. They also done all of the sewing. They Preffered to hand stitch the opening shut. A young man about 8 said now I can sew on my buttons. He also brought in something he sewed where it came unsewn. They were amazing and so happy to learn. The older boys preffered to use pre print designs and just start with a pillow. The comic characters were very popular. The youngest was 5 and I had about 6 to 8 at a time. They are still sewing today after 4 years. Very rewarding experience. Marvel
