Since each student has their very own Student Pattern Packet, everyone knows immediately the project and the step they are working on. One of the best advantages is that the sewing instructions are professionally bound into book form so that students will not loose them. This is tremendously helpful. Another benefit is that teachers, students, and parents know in advance what project comes next.
