Day 24 – Time for UFOs

Time is an issue for all of us, in all areas of our life. Time to sew can be hard to find, and time to finish UFOs even harder because we all want to start new things 🙂
Deliberately making time to work on our UFOs can be a way of getting them done. Here are a few ideas to do this:
1. Set aside one hour/evening/morning/day a week to sit down and only work on UFOs.
If we plan to set time aside, it is more likely to happen. We can plan to have an easy meal made up on that day, or get take-away…, do anything that will free us up for that time we have scheduled. Then turn off all distractions and sew, sew, sew!
2. Take your UFOs to your next Sit’n’Sew
Many of us go to a regular sit and sew. I have a group that I go to once a fortnight, and one on Mondays that I make it to less often…. I am now trying to take UFOs with me, so that I can focus on getting them done. Pick a project to take every week and in no time it will be finished!
3. Organize a UFO Finishing Day
How about getting a bunch of friends together for a day of just working on UFOs? Make it a fun day – bring a plate of food to share for lunch. Bring a little gift to swap at the end of the day as a reward for all your hard work… it is amazing how much you can get done in a day and encourage everyone else with their UFOs!
These are just a few ways of making time to work on UFOs. What other ones can you think of?
I am currently involved in two UFO Challenges. These really force me to get the UFO finished, because I don’t want to ‘pay’ if I don’t. Payment is usually something like a small notion or a spool of thread, it’s not costly, but I still don’t want to pay! I have two due in November, one is currently being quilted, and the other still needs a LOT of hand stitching. It will be going to sit and sew a couple of times, and over to a friend’s house for our sewing day. It WILL be finished in time!!!
Some good ideas there, but I don’t have a group to go to & nobody close enough to sew with. Boohoo! I’ll try & ring tomorrow as looks like Friday is going to be dry & sunny. We’ll see you then. Take care.
