My Project List

Katie told me I should post this list on this blog (which I signed up for then promptly forgot about last September. I blame childbirth.) So here it is, my to-do list of unfinished projects, and then my list of projects I want to start....but ONLY after the first list is completed! It has given me some inspiration to finish the unfinished things just so I can work on my new, exciting projects.

Confession: When I discover an unfinished project I forgot to write on my list, I do it quickly, then add it and cross it off afterwards just so I feel like I've got a lot crossed off my list.

To Finish:
  • Shoulders on Spring dress (Bought fabric 2 years ago; got pregnant 1 year ago; preggo belly got to big to try it on for proper fit; now I need to alter the pattern to have detachable shoulders for nursing.)
  • Alter dress I got at Target to fit better (my "learn-how-to-tailor project")
  • Fix zipper on pink flowered pleated dress
  • Fix Patrick's short black diaper cover
  • fix the elastic on Patrick's long black diaper cover
  • Finish Patrick's quilt
  • restring Patrick's bird mobile and hang it up in a different way on a new branch
  • finish sewing a ton of other stuffed birds I already cut out the fabric for and put on Etsy
  • finish crocheting Matt's scarf (I think this is going on 3 years)
  • Finish altering a baby sling
  • sew covers for living room pillows
  • mend white sweater
  • Mend Matt's pants
  • hem brown table-runner
  • hem round tablecloth
I haven't even looked at the stash of fabric for the patterns I have in a box in my craft room.

Projects to do in the Future:
  • Make a green silk dress (I got some beautiful spring colors soooo cheap a few years ago! I just don't know what to make with it for sure yet. I might alter a pattern I already have....can't find a link to it, sorry.)
  • Figure out how to make the skirt I have in my head for some hand-dyed silks I made
  • Make artsy bedroom quilt...for fabric I bought 3 (?) years ago
  • Spray-paint and create picture frame collage in living room

  1. Good luck! I think it's so hard to focus on the old things when the new things are so exciting!
