Free Indeed Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I have been pondering the idea of starting a class in my home 2 times a month for 2 hours each time for little girls to learn to cook and sew. In the class they would be learning a project, than working on it at home. For the cooking part they would make a recipe and learn needed skills. As they complete classes they would be adding pages to a home book, with the recipes we made in class -personalized with their picture on the completed project along with the day they first made it. That sort of thing. Am I making sense? So what I need is a name for the class along with any ideas you have to make the class more successful as well as how much you would charge (or pay for) for this class. It would be limited to 5 girls, and it is to make extra money, but also for my girls for fun. So please give me your thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Will the cost of material (ingredients and fabric etc.) part of the fee? If it is, your cost will be higher than if they provide those things or if that is an extra fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Indeed Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 Yes, I will provide all the fabric, cooking supplies, etc... I may charge a supply fee for more expensive projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewb Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Is there any reason you are restricting the class to girls only? I think sewing and cooking are skills for both genders to know. I know I would love for both my kids to know how to sew. They are taking a cooking class next month and the fee is $25. each if that helps you out.

I do agree with you, and I may try a co ed class, but I was just thinking the projects I choose may be better suited for girls. I was also thiking about charging $25 a month. Thank you. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda...inOwasso Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 $25 a month sounds very reasonable. I love the idea and would enroll my 2 dd's in a heartbeat. Go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
