In lieu of any more completed projects, allow me to offer up some things I have been working on. I have lost a bit of motivation lately, as my sewing machine is not working at the moment and every time I think I've fixed it, it breaks again... argh.

Here are three projects I have yet to see through to the end, but hope to in the very near future:

So far, I've shortened this, but I also want to take the bust in a bit.  It started out as a loose muumuu, so I'm trying to make it a bit more flattering.


 This one is pretty awesome to begin with. It has "Beverly Hills Polo Club" written all over it with palm trees and polo players. Also, already has a lovely open back. It's just a bit on the long side, so a simple hem should bring it up to date.  I'll post pictures of the back once it's finished.
 
The picture doesn't do it justice, but this is a really pretty dark purple with lavender pearl buttons.  I'm completely undecided as to what to do with it.  But, something certainly needs to be done.  It's somewhat transparent, so needs a slip- I need to keep that in mind when I start cutting it up.  I also want to be sure to keep the buttons... Check back to see what happens to it!
