This manual for parents and teachers that shows everything you need to do to successfully set up a classroom and teach hand sewing to children 5-9 years old. This manual covers the psychology of teaching children, a script for teaching, and how to get a business started. It also includes marketing and promotional ideas, tips for safety, and camera-ready handouts for both students and their teachers. It is based on a goal-oriented program that teaches children to sew while awakening an awareness to sewing as a craft with history and reinforcing basic motor skills.
