Corn Sack Progress

[soc_puppet]

Seven corn sacks (long) complete!

One each given to my mom, my dad, and a friend of mine I coincidentally ran into at Joann's. Two are tentatively earmarked for me because I like them, but I may "trade them out" for others, depending on how they turn out/whether I like the patterns better/etc.

Cloth cut and two edges sewn for six more long, plus five of six planned wide. Cloth has been cut for at least one more wide. One last piece of cloth has been set aside to use as a cutting pattern for long corn sacks as needed.

Cloth has been purchased for at least ten more long or wide, one of which will go to Grandma M, and another of which should probably go to Grandma J. I would not say no to giving some to my brother's family, either, including his MIL.

Possibly ten or eleven of various sizes will go to coworkers, depending on how many I get out of the forty pounds of corn and what executive function I can scrape together.

My parents have suggested selling any extras. I'm not averse, but I don't exactly have a venue set up. Also I'd need to decide what to charge. IDK, if a venue happens, I might consider it, but I also might not; my sewing station is not exactly the height of physical comfort.

Edit: Did I say I'd finished seven long and zero wide? Because I now mean that I finished thirteen long and one wide now, with five wide left to go. (Long are superior for ease of sewing, but I know for a fact that I'm going to deeply appreciate having a wide one sooner or later.)

That's a lot of completed corn sacks!

Finished three more wide this afternoon before my sewing machine decided to have a fight with what turned out to be that particular spool of thread, so I didn't work on any others until about an hour ago. And now I've got four more longs done! I've got about enough corn for two more long bags, I think, and then the rest will probably be just crumbles and dust. We will see if, after that, I am interested enough to buy another forty pounds of corn, and also more flannel.

That is very impressive! (Though frustrating that there was a spool of thread that refused to cooperate.)
