They are 32" x 39" - quite roomy!
I made 4 and got to play with overclocking on my normal machine - quicker than French Seams as an alternative - though slower than a real overlocker.
Looking at these - I almost want to make a Christmas skirt!

Some BIG Santa Sacks
Echidna Sewing's October Charity Project was to make BIG Santa Sacks for Magic Moments Foundation. The organisation delivers baskets of food
and other goods to underprivileged families, Previously they have used garbage bags - so these bags will be a much nicer alternative!

A Plethora of Baby Taggies & A Dementia Mat
It seems there is a baby boom - some have suggested it's a COVID thing...I'm not asking.
It has zips, buttons, buttons under tulle, shoe lace through eyelets, a pocket, ribbons...I hope it helps soothe a soul.
Five taggies:
For Kay - DD2's friend from school - due the same day as DD2
For Elyce - Ivy is already born
For Erin - DD1's best friend from school
For Tay - DD2's Sister in Law
For DD2
Dementia Mat
A local shop - Echidna Sewing - have a charity project each month - I don't often get a chance to participate but this month it was a Dementia Mat - and I had time off work so thought I could whip up a couple - LOL - it was not quick - so I only did one.

Charity Quilt
A shop I occasionally frequent - Echidna Sewing run a charity project each month.
Each month I say to myself - "you can do that"...but I run out of time.
The project for June was to make a quilt for Little Stars Kids.
Little Stars Kids provide Cuddle Cases filled with new essential items like quilts, pillows, hygiene kits, drink bottles, crayons and much more when they are taken into Foster Care.
The brief was to cut 16 strips of varying widths from 8 fabrics and sew them into a quilt. Ditch quilting was suggested but I stitched a big 1/4" either side of each seam.
It ended up about 40" wide and 60" long. I made a "boy" one as I know there will be plenty of girl ones. We were asked to limit the use of overly patterned fabrics.

It was fairly quick to make and some of it came from my stash - not all as most of my stash is fat quarters with bits cut from it!
Perhaps one day I will make some more.
