And So It Begins...

Hello Dhaaarlings...

The first Hurdle has been jumped!
The costume display for Music Man is up and running...





We have been asked to leave the display up for 2 weeks, usually it is for only one or two days!

Auditions are starting in a weeks time and after that then the real work starts with fitting existing costumes, alterations or making new costumes from scratch once the players are cast.
I've scored making the uniforms for the Brass Band

In past years the cast has slowly grown in numbers as more kids are getting involved. This year there are over 60 kids auditioning and the policy is that every kid gets cast in a role either as a lead or as part of the ensemble...

So who knows how many costumes I'll eventually have to put together?
But darlings I'm looking forward to the challenge...

  3. Darling:

    These look wonderful!! But you are clearly going to be chained to that sewing machine for the next goodness knows how long. And all those hems to be sewn by hand!

  5. Bravo, Princess and company! Absolutely magnificent!

    I love the colors the flower hats bring and the great patterns and prints in the clothes. They look amazing! They'll definitely pull in more people for auditions and they are a wonderful work of art. I can't wait to see more and I look forward to opening night magic!

  7. Darling I was just checking to make sure you were all right. I'm imagining a costume sweat shop that went coo coo and you are buried under mountains of fabric bolts, doodads and notions.
