As has been my practice for the past few years (2010, 2014, 2015, 2016), near the end of 2016, I made a list of all the sewing projects that I have outstanding. I have already made good progress on them but, as has been par for the course of my blogging life, haven’t written anything until now.  I did manage to post something on Instagram in order to join up with the Finishalong and I’ve posted a few updates there.  I do want to have a more comprehensive list for myself though so here it is!

Here’s my official Finishalong list (find the picture of everything here):

Finished already:

1. Marko’s birthday shirt (finished but not blogged about yet because I haven’t managed to convince him to wear it even though he requested that I sew him one. Sound familiar?
2. The Hobbit quilt (now finished!)
3. The Firefly quilt (now finished!)
4. surprise project #1 – there are two of these and I just finished them but can’t reveal them until they’ve been delivered!
5. Finish last details on Ellie’s birthday dress (buttonholes, buttons, etc.) (also now finished but not blogged but I do have tons of adorable pictures! Here’s one to keep you happy for awhile.)
   
6. Make a change purse for my niece Selah (finished! See it here.)

Still to do (before the end of March hopefully!):

1. surprise project #2 and #3 – These need to be finished and mailed along with surprise #1 before they can be revealed.
2. Two B-More Bags totes (I have the kits but haven’t started them)
3. Make Ellie’s family reunion skirt a bit bigger and make a new reunion flower for me.
4. Finish two more flowers made from a bridesmaid’s dress from my wedding.
5. Finish my Carkai Hexies project and turn it into our guest room bathroom curtain.
6. Finish my Facing East mini-quilt.
7. Make a storage case for the “Happy Birthday!” bunting.

Additionally, I have several more projects I really would like to get done this spring (some of which will likely end up being on my quarter 2 Finishalong list):

This is what I’ve already finished:

1. Fix Ellie’s knitted doll’s hat.
2. A pouch with zipper for my bullet journal markers

Still to do:

1. Hem my new jeans and Nik’s new jeans.
2. Put Ellie’s Easter 2016 dress back together so she can wear it again. (Clearly I made it too big last year.)
3. Finish the curtains that I made for our community association hall’s upstairs bathrooms.
4. Make the cupboard door cover for our upstairs guest bathroom.
5. Make fancy dinner napkins (to match the tablecloth I made last year during this time).
6. Make Christmas stockings for Nik and me.
7. Make several more corn sacks for our family.
8. Make napkin rings for us to use at our dining room table (to hopefully reduce the number of cloth napkins we go through in a week).
9. A new curtain for our main bathroom (from last year’s list)
10. Fix our bathmats (also from last year’s list)
11. A new wallet for me (to match my sidekick tote)
12. Add Easter words to the back of the “Happy Birthday!” banner!
13. Fix our wool pillows.

Think that’s enough to do? 😉
