My guild is learning. We had a free Saturday Make a Pillowslip for kids ages 10 - 12 as long as adult was with them. First mistake, Free. Many moms brought their child and the neighbor's child, and their sister's child......
We had kits made up of all different colors and prints. Another mistake. Groups of girls wanted the same print and color that the popular girl chose. Moms huddled together and chatted not paying attention to the kids. Many of the kids didn't want to sew just push buttons and turn knobs on the machine. By the end of the day we were exhausted, annoyed and never wanted to do it again. We learned what not to do. There were a couple of girls that were overjoyed at sewing and wanted to learn. We invited them to come to our sewday but their mothers wanted to drop them off and not stay which isn't allowed.
