Default ever start an expensive project but absolutely hate working on it?

My sister saw and fell in love with a popular pattern she saw on the net somewhere, and as she has never expressed such a strong reaction to anything else I decided to buy the pattern and the required fabrics and make it for her as a Christmas gift...

...last year.

As soon as I started it I hated it. I found the pattern hard to follow, it turns out the process of iron on applique annoys me endlessly and it requires a ton of room to spread out and put together.

I spent a load of money on the patterns, embellishments and fabric. I can't justify not finishing it from that perspective. Plus, she really loved it.

I just keep procrastinating bringing it out again, because I *really* don't want to make it.

Sigh.
