Sewing?

I have decided to teach my girls to sew...I used to really enjoy sewing when I was a teen but haven't done fabric sewing since Tayla was a baby....these days it is on layouts :)
So my question to you is....What are some ideas of what I could teach them? And if you have any pattern links 'free' that would be lovely. I was thinking cushions, aprons, bags...etc...so what do you think? My email is in the sidebar if you have any suggestions..TA!
