According to Statista’s 2024 Global Consumer Insights Survey, 23 percent of Americans 50-64 enjoy crafting or DIY hobbies, with many adults placing travel and socializing among their top 10 leisure lists.

Craft retreats combine creativity and connection, allowing women 50-plus to “sew-cialize” while soaking up peaceful scenery. Across the U.S., dozens of locations now host themed retreats where you can learn or refine skills such as quilting, knitting, or needle felting.
