UFO's

I have been busy cleaning up the sewing room and stumbled over some UFO's while  I am procrastinating about my 6PAC.  I am stalled over the first jacket, it is not working and really needs to be binned but I struggle with this.  I have difficulty letting projects go and dislike starting anything until I have finished my last project.  The upside of this is that I do not have many UFO's but find that the few that I do have kill my sewing mojo.  So while letting that jacket have time out I finished the black scarf.  The blue scarf is so useful and warm but does not go with some things in the wardrobe so I started the black. It is now my new favourite!!

Moving right along I found these two tops cut out but not completed.  It is amazing how quickly these went together after siting around for 2 years!!  They are both merino - the coral has some lycra and a slight stripe.  They are wonderful to wear and it is still cold enough for these for a few more weeks.  The pattern is a Burda style 7504 and I like it so much that I am going to make some summer tops.

This top was fairly straight forward to sew but I had problems with the band - the picture shows that the cf seam joins with the centre panel seams but I can not get them to line up.  I also did not interface as it made the bank too stiff - the merino had enough body on its own. The sleeves are close fitting and when I first made the coral one I decided to add more to bicep area so if you have big biceps you will need to add more.
