I sew alone and with a group. I belong to a guild (not am official guild a just for fun one) and also we have a "Fun Night" 1x a month.We sew ,do small projects , anyone is welcome we have a draw for a small gift we pay $5.00 a night and have lots of fun and also share and learn from each other. Examples are quilted bags, hand embroidery, sweadish weaving ,small quilted ironing mats, to name a few .This fall we sre going to do a runner with 1/2 and 1/4 square triangles so everyone will learn the easy way of doing them and end up with a nice finished project.One of my sewing buddies moved away and sometimes we sew on the phone with each others directions it gets a little confusing but she doesn't like the computer that much, so thats what we do. I will admit I get a lot done sewing alone ,but I hate to miss all the personal interaction of being with others :) :) :)
