I have tried sewing with others, but, it doesn't work so well for me. I get too excited about having company over I fuss too much on food and conversation to get anything done. I suppose if I continued on I would settle down to the sewing part.
Now I was able to sew home deco and draperies with my mom that she wanted custom done. We were good at working together whether it was canning or sewing. But, alas, she is gone now.
But, that is me. I hope you can organize your time and talent to sew together. It always sounds like so much fun when others post about it.
