Ah, but as I said, these are *not* beginners -- they have had the
equivalent of a year or two's worth of how much sewing you would get in
a standard home ec course. They have already made 2 or 3 things.

Then really, it comes down to what your friend is willing or capable
of doing with them eh?
I guarantee they each have some clothing r decor item they want but
can't afford. Finding out what it is and aquiring the skills to make
it would be the direction I would move in. Even if they no longer
want it by the time they are ready to make it there will be another
thing by then.

She's done several projects and was out of ideas and needed some to
throw at them to see what struck their fancy.

Yah, but you mentioned she wasn't up to fitting slacks with them.
And I reckon if one of them came in and said she wanted to make a
fully boned top your friend might balk a bit. I know I would.
If you are going to suggest the broomstick skirt (a grand notion), how
about a poets shirt or a lacy cami type thing to go with after it is
done?

I don't think either of them would want a fully boned top, but just
because she doesn't particularly care to handle anything and everything
they might throw at her doesn't mean that she doesn't need more ideas to
find something they could all agree on.
