Once I actually start cutting and sewing, I like a project to be one-and-done, otherwise the beans have too much opportunity to go everywhere. So the taking random dolls out of the box, sorting them into piles,sorting them into different piles, putting them back in the box and taking the out again doesn't really look like I'm organising (and tbh,.sometimes I don't make anything and just enjoy looking at my beanies). Once I settle on an idea, though, everything gets laid out neatly in the order I'll use it.
