Well, usually we go to retreat centers, they are the most affordable. Sometimes the sleeping arrangements are like dorms, sometimes you get individual rooms, sometimes it's a couple (or several) bunkbeds in one large room. Meals are provided, so there is no cooking or cleaning. Bring your own snacks, set up your machine and sew all day! There is one large room where everyone sets up their machines, and we have cutting and pressing stations - we organize who's bringing the irons, boards, cutting mats, risers for the tables, etc. If we're near a LQS, sometimes we'll go on a field trip, especially if someone runs out of thread or something. You bring your machine, a project or two, and any support tools you might need. Wear your jammies all day and sew until you drop!
