FINISHING  UFO-Unfinished Objects |
 |
Your drawers all full of unfinished projects? Here are some suggestions to get out of them.
Reasons can be thousands: we have found a more interesting design to stitch , because we had to rush and stitch a bib for the birth of a friend's child, because we choose a big count fabric we don't like any more, because design is more difficolt we thought or for other different reasons.
We gathers suggestions among Viceversa's friends to try to get out of these unfinished and abandoned projects.

The Rotation System
A friend of us says: "All of my current projects are stored in separate and numbered fabric bags (not plastic, to let natural fibers breath). I work on one project for 10 hours of stitching time, then move on to the next project.
When I have completed 10 hours on each of the ongoing projects, I get to start another project, adding it onto the rotation. Then I go back, up to the top project and start over. This way, I start a new project about every 6-10 weeks, depending on how many projects are going on. During some rotations, I may not finish a single project, but on the next rotation, I may finish two or three. The number of projects being worked on, ranges from about four to no more than eight or nine.
I fill in a list of the projects and I put a X beside for each 10 hours worked. And those old UFO's? When I have finished 10 hours on that awful project, I can put it away with clear conscience: I made 10 hours of progress toward completion of the project, and I have permission to do something I like a lot better"
