unfinished projects

I usually have about 10 different projects on the go. I don’t know exactly why I need to have that many projects going at once, heaven knows I have enough trouble keeping everything sorted for one project!
My fiance came into my studio this evening and plaintively asked “is my shirt done yet?”.
The shirt I promised to make him for Christmas.
Oops.
It’s half sewn together, out of quite a lovely lightweight burgundy wool flannel. Of course, now I’m thinking – it’s getting awfully warm for flannel – I wonder if I should just leave that shirt and make a new one out of broadcloth. Afterall, I have the broadcloth already. And instead of trying to draft a shirt pattern based on one he saw, I could just use this one:
It’s Folkwear pattern #212, “Five Frontier Shirts“. I think the top left shirt is close enough that I can make it work..
And this is how I end up with 11 projects on the go.
