WIP Thursday - Nearly to the End of UFO July Challenge!

I am keeping up with the UFO Challenge for this month, but for this week I want to do a little different thing.  Instead of trying to finish something, I'm only setting my goal as finding, figuring out where I was, and then doing at least 2 more steps on my Factotum.  Of course to do that I'll have to clean/organize the pile at the end of my sewing table...so that might be more work than actually finishing something!

A few recent Etsy orders

Instead of digging through all my vinyl, I settled on the first one I ran across that I liked, a gorgeous iridescent fairy wing!

Actually, I finished up the Professional Pouch UFO last night, so I might as well throw adding the rivets to the Sandra Saddle bag on the list.  It's only been waiting for them since I sewed the strike offs... all I have to do is punch 2 holes and set 2 rivets (maybe 4 if I decided each side needs 2).  I have a punch, I have a rivet press, I have rivets, it's just a matter of grabbing the purse and doing it! I bet I can finish it in less than 5 minutes even.

Not a UFO but a long timer on the list! So thankful for patient friends!

 I'm not taking any more orders for July so I have a chance to catch up, and if I can get one more complete order done by the end of the week, I may sneak in my selfish birthday sewing!  I really want to try a new purse style, but I can't decide on fabric!  I may just have a kid help me pick and then if I don't absolutely love it, I can list it up for sale.  Not usually an issue for me since I love pretty much EVERYTHING I finish!
