I...Awesome idea! \( ^ O^)/ I will have to try this. I had heard of those bags, but they looked so awkwardly huge, I didn't know what on earth I'd do with them. I've heard other people organizing their sewing projects like this, but it never dawned on me to actually do this. Instead, I just keep all projects in plastic "Jo-Ann Fabrics" bag and trip over them every now and then to remind myself why I should find a better place for them. I'll definitely try this--if not a space saver bag to decrease some of that storage bulk! xD Best wishes to you in the new year and your projects. ^^mizhttp://bimyoulove.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-64998907578890618012012-12-22T05:47:54.342-05:002012-12-22T05:47:54.342-05:00You sound like me.

They are all still in a box unpacked but I'm so glad I did it, so when I'm ready, so will they be! Whats crazy about most of them is that all they need are some buttons or a zip or hemming!

At school I had ones for every class: patternmaking, construction, etc with notes and supplies, thread, etc in each bag. And it felt really nerdy to be the girl with all the plastic bags but it helped me maintain sanity. Glad to see someone else use these bags too!<br /><br />Dunno why I never used the bags for all my UFOs...but now I will :)1835-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183293014613566402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-77151337587340738732012-12-12T11:23:00.506-05:002012-12-12T11:23:00.506-05:00Jen, I offer a sweater finishing/repair service as...Jen, I offer a sweater finishing/repair service as a part of my fledgling business, and I charge $50 for a 4 hour finishing class, or $50/hr. to put their projects together. I am continually surprised by how many people pay me to assemble their knitting. By charging a fee you make it clear that you value your time and skills, and they should, too!

But I'm working on stuff. Big plans for the 11 day holiday we get over the Christmas Break. In reference to your mother-in-law, a former boss of mine and I were always in the same boat with our love of planning ahead for crafting. She always said that it makes it so you live longer, because you have so much stuff to do still. I think that theory. But I've been good this year - finished five quilt tops and three of them are completely done. I'd better get cracking on the one, I was going to give it to my hubby's bachelor uncle for his birthday next week.

But 10 years later I have it licked and the dress is gorgeous - YAY. There's a great feeling of satisfaction having completed a UFO but I have to admit to binning quite a few things that just aren't going to work. Most often I send them to St V de P and hope to goodness someone else wants to finish it.
