When my daughters were in high school marching band, some of the moms and I would get together and sew colour guard flags. My daughters were percussionists, not colour guard members but I LOVED getting together two days a week during marching season and sewing. Most were somewhat inexperienced but it was just straight stitching. Now, I'm in Lubbock TX and haven't really met any women who enjoy sewing but am ever on the look out LOL
