We have an active 4-H Horse Club and a Rabbit Club, so maybe something for animals would be good idea.

Thanks for helping me think outside the box.

I like the simple tote bags ideas. That should be a simple project for beginning sewers.

Zippered pouches for the kids to keep stuff in. One can never have enough zippered pouches :)
Or snap pouches... or velcroed pouches.
They are a cinch to make and are instant gratification for a new sewer.

beds for dogs to give to the local humane society. We are making some and have several people saving all their fabric scraps, trimmings etc. to fill these.

Have to make sure they are cotton so they don't melt.

Here are some of the church bags I made from upholstory and home dec. fabrics and what I put in them. They are easy-peasy to make.

I thought about hot pads with these too, but be careful as some upholstery fabrics have nylon or polyester that melts easily so just be careful which ones you select for that purpose. What about slippers?
