While I may know how to sew, and sewing and other handwork is an important part of my life, I do not think that I am overly biased in my opinion that basic sewing skills are important for everyone.

This book is one of the best that I have seen for teaching a child to love the basics of sewing. My kids really loved working through the steps in this book.
