Hi girls!

I have an itch to sew and I need some project ideas. I already have several ideas, but wanted to rack the brains of my fellow farm sisters to see what you can come up with.
thank you

What about a prayer shawl using fabric instead of yarn? Or a nice table runner?

You could start making some bags. That's been mentioned on a few other threads and I am loving that, so this years gifts will be sent in reusable bags.

What kind of fabric pieces are you talking-scraps or full size pieces? Are you wanting a quick project or a longer one?

Hi Karla, i have both pieces and full size- it does not matter if it is a quick project or not.

How about a baby or doll quilt?
A new skirt?
A new blouse?
A cloth doll?
Reusable market bags is a great idea Laurie!

How about Holloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas aprons. If I could sew that is exactly what I would do. LOL.

If you would like to make tote bags, baby bibs, or baby quilts: google "Care Bags for Kids" It is an organization started by a girl when she was about 11 or 12. Her foundations sends these to children all over the world who have experienced a crisis. The bags are filled with items they can use. You can donate the filler items or just send money, also.
