Here's my first UFO. I've cut out and kept the pattern pieces for something 6844.

A bit of online searching and I found it was New Look 6844, though I can't currently find the pattern envelope or instructions unfortunately.

-------------
Updated to add I've found the instructions and other patterns pieces, though not (yet) the pattern envelope, so have a better chance of making it up!

I’m not sure I’ve got any UFO's.   :thinking:  But I might go and have a look.

I could add my jeans to this contest. They've ground to a halt for the time being. Lack of thread.

Thanks @SewRuthieSews ! Though it feels a bit like cheating......I don't usually have UFOs, certainly don't have any others.

I don't have any unfinished objects, just the odd one or two not yet started ones, which are also in the not yet even decided how to make them category.

I have ... one or two ... hmm. 

My denim patchwork jacket hit a problem when I realised that however nice a boxy jacket it might be, I am not a boxy shape.

I also have a jacket on the knitting needles that has been side-lined while I crochet.
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.
