Un Finished Object Contest: May and June 2023

[Ohsewsimple]

Definitely need to get that finished @Ouryve

[Kwaaked]

Do all my previous partially unfinished contest entries work?  These are the only UFOs I actually have at the moment.

That and a client's blanket.

[SewRuthieSews]

@Kwaaked sure!

[Lachica]

@Ouryve that looks like a lovely coat, looking forward to seeing it finished.

Does all the unfinished housework that I haven't done for ages count 

[SewRuthieSews]

@Bumblebuncher sorry no, unfinished housework doesn't count!

[Bumblebuncher]

@SewRuthieSews Oh well, I will just leave it then 

[Bjay]

Could I add my horrible blue quilt top/quilt please.?

[b15erk]

Handbags.  I cut out four last year for birthdays, and so far only one has been finished and given away.  I've not got very far with them, but they are definitely UFO's - although not of great vintage.  Some have zips in, some have linings, but all are at different stages - none, anywhere near finished.

So, are handbags allowed?  I would love to get rid of all the clutter which is sitting there, waiting for me to make a start...

[SewRuthieSews]

yes handbags, quilt tops, garments which are cut out but not sewn, all these things are UFOs
Just make sure to take a before picture so we can see the progress you have made.
And use this thread to get advice if you are stuck!

I have a dress that was started last summer and had a few hitches (pattern design faults), a blouse cut out many, many moons ago (I'll give details if I decide to go for it, but it's embarrassing......), and a tapestry-like square that was to be a cushion cover. Tapestry finished but fabric for backing and piping cord still in the bag with receipt dates unless they have faded.  I think the dress will be the first to be tackled.

  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  I laid one of my tunics on my inside-out Starry dress, and pinned out 2.5 cm on each side, making it 10 cm smaller in diameter. I took out more over the hips and 😣 lost the beautiful big pockets   [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  
I really don't understand why it came out so big but must go back to the pattern and alter it before o make the same mistake again!

[Lachica]

Tomorrow I'll cut off the lovely neat hem  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  before overlocking. I will probably cut more off but will so that once I've got the sides correct. I don't want to lose the fullness of the sleeve head so will taper the sides up to nothing at the underarm.

I have one UFO so will try to join in.  Pics tomorrow when I've sorted it out.  It's a blouse, I'll find the pattern.

[Lachica]

Well the sides have been taken in. Now I need to adjust the back - it's wrinkly still so now I'm going to undo the new seam 😣 as far as just above the bodice seam so I can take 6 cm out of the length of the bodice.
