I'm looking for an eagle project, and i want it to be away from the usual. I don't want it to be planting a flower garden, painting a wall, building a fence, etc. Does anybody have any ideas that are unique? Please share your experiences of eagle projects you've participated in or have seen or observed. Thank you.

Ideas on how to make a sewing class FUN?
I teach students 3rd through 5th grade how to sew and I want to make our hour in class fun for them while they learn. Any ideas?
Answer
Keep the projects quick and easy and colourful. Kids that age like things they can use and don't have patience for projects that take too many sessions to complete. Doing smaller items that are finished quickly builds confidence and it's easy to build up on successes with slightly more complex projects. A little drawstring bag made of quilting cotton for shoes or gym clothes is always a favourite when I teach little kids. I always allow the kids some freedom in picking the colour of fabric, as long a it's quilting cotton. Quilting cotton is easy to cut and sew and an excellent choice for kids because of the endless variety of colours and prints. A simple pencil bag is also a favourite. Simple pillows are also good. For the older kids a pair of pyjama bottoms from cotton flannelette can be a final project worth trying. For the younger ones a backpack or school bag works well. Don't fall for the allure of furry stuffed animals, the fur is difficult to sew for beginners and it can be be more frustrating than fun. Another project to avoid is an an old fashioned apron. Little boys will be lost because they don't relate to the item, and some little girls will rebel against such an old fashioned and slightly sexist project. (Trust me, I've been teaching kids for a while.) It may be traditional, but it's not the best idea. If you can convince the kids that they can make useful and good looking things themselves, they should become interested on their own. Kids love to be able to express themselves and show off what they have made, and sewing allows plenty of room for both.
I teach through a fabric store and part of the deal is that the kids buy patterns from the store. I recommend the Kwik Sew Learn to sew line. The first projects are quite simple, they even have a couple no-sew projects to teach basic cutting and laying out. Here's the page with all the beginner projects You can get a couple ideas of what type of things beginners can make: http://www.kwiksew.com/Catalog/cat_thumbs.cfm?Cat=Learn_to_Sew&Level=KWIK_Start&QL=KwikStart I start the kids with number 3525. The pattern 3595 is the pyjama pattern I use. If you do a search through about.com's sewing site there are a few similar free patterns you can use: http://sewing.about.com/
In conclusion, keep it simple, keep it colourful, and allow some creative freedom.
