Default Family Sewing Club

Back in February, I had an idea to propose a sewing club of sorts to my MIL and SILs. Only myself and my MIL had considerable sewing experience, and I thought it would be fun to have the ladies get together and learn some new skills and make some nice things.

So far, it has been a big hit. Our first session was dedicated to learning about sewing machines and everyone made a pair of burrito style pillowcases. The second session was pajama pants. Third was hot pads and a microwave cozy. Our fourth was a sling bag/cross body bag.

We haven't decided what our fifth session will be. Anyone have any ideas? Most of our group are beginners and have only sewn what we have made together, so the projects would have to fit their skill set. The idea of an apron has been brought up as well as a Christmas tree skirt. We won't be diving into quilting just yet if ever. Not everyone is wanting to take on a larger project or just isn't interest in quilting.
