I would think it would depend on how long you plan on sewing at a time and whether you plan to hand sew vs machine sew. If you plan on machine sewing and don't plan on sitting at the machine for an extended amount of time, I think you might be alright.

I quilt- mostly baby quilts. You could give that a shot! It's very relaxing and you can either make very simple block quilts or more advanced, difficult ones. It's all up to you and what you're comfortable doing.

Another thing you might like is loom knitting.
