While you are sewing, jot down everything you touch and use. That is where you need to start. I have a packing list that I started when I go on retreats. I adjust it yearly, but it is a start. I also over pack, but since I have my car with me, I leave some of my UFO's in my car and when I have time for them I run out to the car. Last retreat, I didn't bring enough different colored threads, so I made a note about that. I'll be glad to send you my list. Just email me at
[email protected] I can't figure out how to send it to you privately since it would be an attachment. My retreats are at least three days, so I included more than just sewing things on my packing list.
