I thought I'd pop in here and give another suggestion or two. I've taught a lot of people to sew.

I taught sewing in adult education classes.... in a school classroom with sewing machines. I've also taught sewing at a quilt shop where people brought their own machines. And.... I've taught quilting classes in quilt shops as well.

I would decide on one project.... otherwise, you have too many different things going on at once. And, everyone needs your help, all the time.

I would decide how much time it would take to make the project and then double it. You know what you're doing and could make it in a set amount of time. No one taking the class will know.... that's why they are there..... and it just takes double the time.

There are people that will show up for one class but not come back. Life gets in the way. I always have an extra day/time for those people to come and finish up what they have started.

I don't know if any of my past experiences will help out but I hope so. Good luck. It takes a lot of work to help people learn a new skill. Enjoy it... don't get discouraged. I always feel like I'm passing on something that needs to be learned..... too many people don't even know how to sew on a button.
