I, too, was going to suggest the sewing kit. It is very easy for people to think that just because you have a sewing machine you won't mind just doing a few things for them. I just tell people straight out that I am not a seamstress anymore, but a quilter and there is a big difference!

"Give a man a fish, you'll feed him for one day.
Teach a man how to fish, he can feed himself - every day."
Can't think just now where that quote came from, but it certainly applies here.
Let us know how this all played out; you've got lots of company. :?
I think your quote comes from the bible, or maybe just Sunday School. :lol:

This is an old Chinese proverb.
