Sewing parties! I'm totally up for that! And it'll help me, uh, get anything done ever. (If I want to embark on certain ambitious cosplay plans I really need to a) commit to them and b) start on them ASAP.)

I'm also totally up for teaching you to use your sewing machine, as best I can, but with the caveats that I am very self-taught and do a lot of "hmm, let me poke at this until the shapes make sense in my brain" when sewing, so I don't know how good I'll be as a teacher for anyone else's brain.

Pasta parties also sound fun! And random museums and amusement parks, budget and schedule logistics allowing.
