    So before I saw SuziSew's response I was going to say an owl...but now I will agree with her on a sewing machine!

    I like the idea of something sewing related. You know it’s a topic that appeals to your students.

    Love this idea!

    How fun! I agree with Rhonda K. It's nice to complete something in class. Taking it home to finish is anti climatic. And will it get finished? I know we all work at different speeds in the learning and doing process. I've taken a lot of classes and I am not the first at the finish line. It can be frustrating to be concentrating on sewing a specific part and missing out on the next group of instructions. I believe if its a beginner class keeping it simple works wonders for not overwhelming them. What a wonderful opportunity for you and your new students! Congratulations!

    Another thought -- make a holiday item. So if the class in the next two weeks do a Fourth of July themed item. If it's later then maybe a Halloween/Fall item.

    Well, I've never taken a class on collage or made a collage...but I'm drawn to beach scenes or underwater scenes. They might have a lot of options in materials to use to create seaweed or maybe small shells that could be attached. Just a thought.

    I think it would make sense to have at least two levels of classes - maybe three levels -

    the first one to do something super simple - like maybe a pumpkin or an apple or a ball - or cubes and rectangles - to get an idea of shading, etc. and materials and techniques to use. Also, so that only a few different fabrics would be needed to get the effect.
