[W|0.8.657] unfinish apparel drops to the ground

[SirKastros]

I was making a parka with one of my colonist then another came by and was going to make one and the unfinished on got dropped to the ground.
Now I can't pickup it up or finish it with the colonist that started making it

 You may have unassigned the first crafter. And what happens is another colonist comes along and throws that prior craft on floor and starts their work. You can click item on floor and click cancel and all the items in said item revert back.

A little time passes and now this is happening. There is two unfinished parkas on the table and the one on the floor was picked up.

As long as they are picking them back up to continue work they should complete no problem, editing bills with unfinished items may break them, still having issues with this. Easiest way I've found to test an unfinished item to see if it's busted is to:

draft all colonists so you can be sure the table is not in use
select the colonist that started the item in question, un-draft them
right click the unfinished item

If the only option showing is to haul it, it's likely broke.
It is usually possible to select the broken item and hit the 'cancel' option to recover some of the materials and get rid of the useless broken item.
