A friend and I had a sewing camp one year at church for 2 weeks....3 days each week. We started with the basics of going over all the machine parts and patterns and had them sew on paper first to get the feel of the machine. Then we helped them make basic things like a bag for their sewing supplies. We helped the older group make pajama bottoms for themselves. When they had extra time, they made pillowcases to donate to Conker Cancer.
