Dear Julie,
We are nearly neighbors! I live in Plano, TX. And, I too wish you luck with your classes and book. I was thinking back to my beginning sewing class and the first thing we made was slipper slacks which was basically a drawstring bag for shoes. I believe it had two "legs." I also had the thought that the second level class might be capable of a simple vest.
I have also seen several ways of modifying old t-shirts that might be interesting to kids.

cute, cute, cute!!!

for toy and heidi...when you ease stitch the cap of a sleeve, use a shorter stitch than a basting stitch. When you pull the stitching up, the gathers will be tighter and easier to adjust. To keep from having tucks and puckers, pin, pin, pin!
Then sew slowly, pulling pins as you go.

The tough thing for me is "stitching in the ditch." I am a perfectionist and this is never, ever perfect enough for me!
