I know this is not sewing, but I had to come up with a fast, cheap, charity craft for my womens' church group. Only one could crochet, but she taught us and we did casket blankets for preemies, hats for preemies and earwarmers for the homeless shelter. We found the patterns online for everything except the ear warmers and that is a combination of my mistakes and online. They are super simple to make and take 1 1/2-2 hours. Good luck!!!!!! I'll be glad to share patterns.

I'd say pillowcases, I love making them! The only other quick projects I do is baby bibs and burp cloths. Maybe small animal or baby rag quilts? oh, and the self-binding receiving blankets- they are quick and easy, and come out so cute!

We did mini Christmas stockings (ornament size) and I brought my embroidery machine and put names on them as they finished them.

I have a pattern for a really cool dinner roll holder that can be done in that time frame, is really unique and fun to have! Essentially, you cut six circles of fabric about 15" in diameter. They can all be the same, three of each or six different fabrics. You sew them together, in twos, right sides together, turn and finish stitching. After pressing, you attached one circle to another using a pie cut stitch pattern, then attached the third circle with tack stitches. Add snaps for holding it in place for use and voila....When done and filled with dinner rolls it looks like a flower, when not filled it can double as a hot pad for the table.
If you would the the pattern, send me a PM and I will send you the .pdf.

Potato bags are great...use 100 percent cotton with no chemicals, cotton fabric and cotton thread....works!

I agree with the potato bags - all parts must be 100% cotton. Warm & Natural is 100% cotton. There also are several tutorials/instructions on the covered casserole carrier that is easy and you can make whatever size you'd like. The pillowcases and the 10 minute table runners are fun & easy, too. Good luck and have fun.
