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
