I have gone on a couple of wonderful weekend retreats. I just pack what I normally use and pack only what I need to finish the projects. I found it helps to pack plenty of projects that are already cut since space can be limited for cutting. The reason it helps to have more than one project is that you can get sleepy after spending so much time on one project. If you rotate between your projects, you are much more likely to stay awake. Since you are not in your normal sewing enironment, it really helps to bring a cushion for the seat and a good support pillow for your back....a real Godsend. Since I am short, I also bring a little platform for my sewing machine pedal. Retreats are wonderful!
