How about a little retreat right at your house? Have her invite some of her friends to come sew for the weekend. YOu can go do your thing, and they could just stay in their jammas knowing they have the place to themselves.Have pizza delivered, best gift ever! Cost is extremely low, you could have some goodie bags for each one. Maybe with a fat quarter or two and some notions in each! The gift of sewing time! Wow! I for one, really love this idea!!!
If not for the weekend, just a day!
