    WORKS IN PROGRESS



    I've got a TON of projects lined up. I need to stop planning and get started sewing. The pic above is the first tank. Acutally, it's not the first, but I hated the way the other one turned out and ripped out all the stitches to start over. So this is the first one I like. I'm thinking like $24 a piece, plus $6 for shipping since the damn post office raised rates again. So a nice round $30. I wonder if this is too much, or too little, 'cause they're gonna take quite awhile to sew. But I really, reallly like them, and if they don't sell, I'll be more than happy to add them to my lounge-around-the-house wardrobe.



    Pink has a coral lip mark on the lapel area, blue has a cool retro-y apple on the lapel, brown will have an orange crown near the waist, purple with have a white umbrella near the waist, and aqua will have a feather in this pinky-brown thread - don't know if I'll do the peacock eye or if this pattern will even work. We'll see.



    Just in case I miraculously become the bionic woman over the weekend and get those tanks finished, I've also got the dinner napkins to sew and then embroider.

    Oh, and a few art ones, too.



    Well. I'm off to pick out some flicks to watch, but not really look at, and get started.

    AWESOME!
    Looks like you are armed with your artillery.
    Get to da front lines, soldier!
    I wanna see pics of the finished products.
    I really think the tanks'll do well.
    $30 sounds good to me, considering they are custom made tanks and all.
    I dunno about clothing though, get some grrrls in here to give their opinions.
    I have been working too and have almost finished season 3 of Sex and the City. (I finally snuck them in to watch when D wasn't home. He wanted to watch em' with me but I have been urging fo' a while).
    Ok, tangent.
    Sorry.
    Done.
    -End post.
