UFOs

 
Since I am at home for a little bit I have decided to go through my projects and finish some UFOs.  I started this dress probably between a year and a half to two years ago.  I just finished it a few weeks ago and love it.  The fabric I used was some mom had had for a while.  She told me that Aunt Janeen made a pair of slacks out of it.  I had just enough to cut out the pattern but not enough to lengthen it which is why I put the band on the bottom.  I had fun making it.............got a little frustrating at times......but it was fun.

I am trying to get my quilt done that I made for my class over to Snow.  Of course I had to choose a time consuming border to do and I have a lot of it cut out.  I just need to sew the pieces together.  I also pulled out a jacket mom and I had started several years ago and got the lining put in and tried it on.  Sadly it doesn't fit me anymore but I think we should finish it for mom.  After working on that for almost an entire day I was so frustrated and need to make something I didn't have to think about, I made a pair of pajama pants.  But I was so worn out from the jacket and really wasn't thinking about what I was doing and sewed a seam wrong and had to unpick it.  So much for it being an easy mindless project. :)  I also have a pillow case I am going to make.

Before Christmas I went to Provo and stopped at Heindselman's to get some yarn for a scarf mom and I want to make.  Well I started mine a few days ago and got it all knitted.  All I have to do is sew on the button.  I'll get a picture of it on here sometime.

I hope I can post more UFOs, as well as new projects, soon.  And lots of them!!!
