After seeing
Peter's post on Unfinished Objeects (UFO's)...I figured this would be the perfect time to come clean about a few UFOs I have around here!
I cut this silk fabric out before I really learned how to sew! Then I came across
the instructions and was a bit intimidated. I definitely want to tackle this before summer!
I'm making the halter top in the purple fabric that matches the cuffs of the bolero. Again, it was a project that I ran into a head scratching moment with, put it down and then never picked it back up again! This would be a perfect halter to finish so I can wear it this summer!
I have a couple of needlework projects that are UFO's.
I started this one at christmastime with high hopes of making it for my niece for Christmas! I think I grossly underestimated the amount of time it will take to make the doll and the doll's clothes! Though I definitely still want to do it!
This one should be easy peasy but I just need a few extra moments to complete it. I've already
finished the dress and at the moment it has mustard yellow collar and cuffs. I've got extra collar and cuffs cut out in green (as shown above), deep red and purple! An easy way to switch up the summer dress!
Ah, another needlework UFO. I originally started this as a Father's Day present (last year) for my dad. Father's day came and went. Then I thought, well I can make it for his birthday (which was in January). Do you think I'll make it for this father's day? Hmmm.... Cross-stitch takes FOREVER! I think I've easily put in 40 hours already on this and I only have one duck done so far (but it is pretty). I think I may spend some time with these duckies in April and May!
I am so eager to finish this suit! Especially as I want to wear it during the spring. The fabric is lovely and I think with a short sleeve blouse underneath I could easily get many more months of wear before summer!
It's perfect timing because finishing up one of these UFO's is the theme for
the Sew Weekly this week! YAY! I am super excited about this! Which one do you think I'll choose?
What about you? Are there any UFO's you want to finish up?
