I finally went back to the beginning and encouraged any of them that felt they had an eye for design or a desire to create something to buy a few books and actually read the good information that is out there before they get too far along in their endeavors. It's all about being self-educated in this field, at least to begin with, then find the other education out there that is being offered for those who love to create. We need more upholsterers, drapery makers, and small business owners in this world. If not, we'll all end up with homes that look exactly alike---and all purchased from the big box store!
I guess that's my rant for the weekend, boys and girls of East Middle School, if you are reading this. Just create something for yourself, and if you loved the process, try perfecting it. You might just wind up with something unique.

That sounds like fun ! I like the way you put it.
A BIG Amen from me!!!! It's fun to sew and create something interesting...even if you've never seen anything like it before :^). You made a perfect speech as far as I am concerned!

Sounds like you gave them a great overview; bet they were impressed and I'm sure you ignited the creative bug for some of them.
