So many ideas abound for all sewing skills: Swaddlers for the newborns at the local hospitals. They are easy to do and can be quilted, can have different stitches, can be lined, and can be cotton, fleece, minky, etc. Swaddlers can also have embroidery, applique, and one, two or several different fabrics used for each one; Little girl peasant and/or pillowcase dresses, sanitary pads for impoverished girls, and shorts for boys through charities; lap quilts for nursing homes, prayer shawls with matching bag for those in need through churches and/or womens shelters, etc., etc., etc. There are free patterns online for all these ideas.
