Two Hands, One Foot – a NO MACHINE challenge. What can you create from 1 ft2 (or 30 cm2) of plain white fabric? Remember, hand stitching only!
Scarf Ace – Head-, neck-, and face-wear for the autumn and winter.
Case Closed – Phone case, glasses case, laptop case… Just make a case!
Boys in Blue – Is it [primarily] blue? Can a man in your life wear it? Well, let's see it. (Man need not be included.)
Keeping Cosy – Eugh! This tea is cold, and so is my egg. Who fancies making a couple of cosies, like the ones Grandmother used in the old days?

The cosy idea sounds fun. I have two naked tea pots.

The fabric over 4 years old? Newbies should have no problem. When I read the "XX", I thought it was Roman numerals and thought, "No problem, got plenty of fabric over 20 years old."

How about a "precious fabrics" challenge? Could allow numerous pieces of fabric the ability to see the light of day after decades in storage! -< I know one of my "precious" pieces had a 40th birthday a year or two ago - and I didn't so much as glance at it. I'm sure its feeling neglected! :rolleyes:

'Precious fabrics'? That would be my pieces of Linton tweed  :embarrassed:

Wow some fantastic ideas.  I like the idea of turning something old into something new.

I like the cosies idea too - I have a saved image of a tea cosy in my ideas folder, and it would be good to actually do something with it.

Precious fabric sounds good, but I'm not sure I have the courage...  :o
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.
