UFO's don't always relate to quilting...
Well, I had a Kohls bag sitting on my sewing table for over a year! Two pair of corduroy pants and a sweat pant that needed hemming. I decided it was time that I tackled them so that I could get them out of my sewing room and into my closet. Hemming is not difficult and it really does not take that long to do since I do it on my sewing machine. I even bought a Coverstitch machine last year for hemming sweats.. It was time to get this done. Boy! I feel so much better now that my task is complete! Silly me.
Now I am tackling a baby quilt that just needed stitch in the ditch quilting. It was in one of my totes for 2 years! Almost done with that! Good grief.

Consider yourself lucky the pants still fit! HeHeHe
(Actually, I have a pair of pants that have been waiting to be hemmed since October, yesterday I tried them on to see if they still fit, and they did, so then put them back in the bag to do later, it hasn't been a year yet!!!)

Oh, did I say that they "fit"? LOL! well, they reminded me that winter has not been kind to my figure. But they fit, albiet a little tighter than I would have wanted. Corduroy with stretch is a good thing!

At least they are for yourself......everyone around here is a close relative of mine, and it seems like I'm the designated hemmer, hole-patcher, all-around sewist for our little family. Of course, they're all elderly aunts and uncles so I don't mind, but I just love that saying someone has as a tagline.....(I'm paraphrasing, along the lines of) "Asking a quilter to hem pants is like asking Leonardo Da Vinci to paint your garage!"
