My first FO of 2013
…Is not my coat. It’s a set of burp cloths that were ordered about 2 months ago. 
A dozen burp rags ready for duty.
I kept telling myself to only do one project at a time, and I was already started on my coat, so…..this project languished. I finally decided that I just needed to break down and do it before the gal changed her mind about wanting them. And if I’m being completely honest it was a nice break from ripping out understitching on my coat hem. I’m probably the only one, but if I have to rip back very far not only do my hands/forearms start to hurt, but I just start to feel a little bit depressed about the work that went in to the stitching to start with. Silly, I know, especially when it’s more of a “cosmetic” fix than one that actually “needed” doing, but I’ve always been that way to a degree.
Cute! I like the fun prints and colors.
Sometimes you just need a break from a big project, especially when you’re on the heartbreaking un-sewing stage.
Yay for easy projects to take your mind off seam ripping. Oh and I get sad when I have to rip seams out too – sigh.
Yes, it is definitely nice to get a break once in a while!
