I'm referring to the number of Un-Finished Objects that grace the table and floor in my sewing area.
Little piles of them.
Some cut and pinned and ready to sew...
(Nicole Mallalieu beret in cord and satiny stuff - a now belated gift for a friend)
Some that are more than 3/4 finished and just require the 'hard' or unknown bits to be done to finish them...
(Kirsty's shrug for me - needs a little more crochet of one side then to be joined together, the scary unknown bit)
Others that are well on their way...
(Oliver+s ice-cream dress I was supposed to finish as part of the social - in July! In gorgeous fabric I won from Amy, that I never even blogged as I was embarassed not to have finished the dress... thanks Amy)
This was the prototype lunch bag I made six of for the Sew It Together weekend - it needs one strip of velcro applied - which is fiddly and awkward on the vinyl without a walking foot...
And there's one dodgy crooked line I need to unpick and re-do.
A stretch dress where I tried to 'wing it' and combine the bits I liked from two patterns.
I hate the black neck and it looks huge so it will need to have the neck removed and some gathering to bring the shape in...
One of two velour leotards almost finished that were made for the big girls' birthday - in *ahem* March.
They need elastic on the legs, cuffs and neck - yep - that's all...
A pinafore-style dress that I cut from cute duck fabric that Bec gave to me - I love these cute ducks - so much that I this is the duck I copied to make the smallest child's birthday cake.
And this retro dress I started last summer- thankfully I cut it in a size that would fit the smallest child this summer...
By no means am I saying this is all.
This is just a few to help me keep perspective and to urge me on to completing some of them.
Items that for one reason or another have lingered too long; out of fear, disappointment, being put aside to meet another deadline or just the urge to move on to something new, having spent considerable time getting them to their near-complete state.
So - will you 'fess up and show us some of the yet-to-be-completed items in your workspace?
Or do you finish things as you start them??
I hope I am not alone!
