Ah yes.
It was so, so interesting to watch how she did it all.
Shame I've forgotten the channel because I was so absorbed by how clever and yet "easy" it was.

The hand is 'Thing', I think.

I saw someone on youtube make the complete and absolute replica of the Adam's family house.
With lurch, Morticia, the hand (forgotten its name- Andy?)

I was thinking of patchwork for the advent calendar/wall hanging.

Thanks everyone but I want to make something different from patchwork!

Twiddle muffs for the elderly.
Mind you, you'd be wasted really, because your too skillful.

Knitted knockers? For women abroad (I think) who have no access to prosthesis after mastectomies?

A wall hanging advent calendar type of thing with pockets for every day in December? You could put little treats in them for yourself or others to open next year.

Have a look at the Facebook pages for project Linus or Quilts for care leavers. Both worthwhile recipients for quilts.

A patchwork bag as a Christmas present?

I wonder if you could do a sponsored Quilt with people giving a certain amount per square (or whatever shape you choose).. Decide on a charity and perhaps advertise the project on Instagram... Perhaps whichever charity you choose would help with the collection of the money..

I’ve done patchwork for years, using charity shop fabrics and every stitch by hand. I love the quiet peaceful work of hand sewing.
Just finished a quilt which took a year and want to make something different. I’d rather make something useful than something purely ornamental. Any suggestions?
