Our girls wanted to learn to knit and embroider so we bought them some wool and borrowed some needles and they were able to Learn to knit a scarf each for personal progress and we also taught them to embroider on a scrap of fabric.
I bought them a white hand towel and they are going to embroider their names, or a scripture reference onto the towel and pop it in their ' glory boxes'
( maybe progress to 2 towels and embroider his and hers on!)
The white represents faith / purity / virtue in their personal progress books.
They also learnt to sew on a button and make a spag Bolognaise which can be used with spaghetti, nacho corn chips, as a chilli with rice ( some kidney beans were added), in tortillas, with burritos, as a sheppards pie with mash potato, mixed with cooked pasta and baked with cheese on top, on toast, in a toastie, on a jacket potato etc etc
To show them how versatile a bolognaise sauce cooked from scratch can be when they are at uni or on a mission
