I feel sad to see you wave good-bye to this silk dress. I read your other post when it first went up and was waiting to see where you'd go with this. Did you pack it up and put it away for maybe later or is it a complete good-bye?
I'm curious as to what the other project you mention is that will also take so many hours.
You've reminded me of many unfinished things (due to the many hours and competing projects) I have let go of like this. I can't wave good-bye right away, it takes time, sometimes years, because I tell myself maybe I'll get to it, finish it. Sometimes that happens, but most of the time not.
I am going to pick it up later for sure! But I left my sewing machine for a while, so I was just a bit too much in a rush to finish it now...
But yes it is always hard to leave things to the side, when you where super excited about them at the beginning! I guess thats what happens when you have too many ideas?
(the box of maybes is probably never going to be empty)
It's better not to rush finishing.
Yes, that's exactly what happens...things get left to the side. It's just part of the way it goes and yes, the box of maybes is never going to be empty, as you say, 😂. I know mine never is.
Maybe you should be able to exchange boxes of maybes, I imagine it would be more exciting to finish someone else's maybes than your own ones...:)
Oh wow, that'd be sooo much fun, that kind of exhcange. Totally great idea to finish someone else's maybes. I'd try that out.
We should try one day, when I am back with my sewing machine and all the maybes...?!:)
Hahaha, I'd love that, even just the thought is fun. Yes...all the maybes...😂. I'm working on wool leggings (old sweaters), so those are being taken from maybe to reality.
Nice!!! How do you sew them together though? (because of how stretchy the wool would be)
I was just thinking about cashmere trousers/leggings would be awesome, but my flea-market-cashmere-jumper-collection isnt big enough yet...
