Not finished yet!

I went to practice last night to view the costumes and take a few pictures for a contest that I am entering. Picked up a few more projects to sew/finish so fire up the sewing machine!

Just a few sneak peaks at some of the costumes. Sorry for the blurry shots! I am going to Tuesday nights dress rehearsal complete with lighting and curtains down for the final shots.

It's going to be a really good show. These kids have amazing voices! I didn't realize how fast they have to change costumes and sets. I would be in pure panic if it were me!

How do you say FINISHED...I think!

Today I put the last sashes, head coverings and hats together for the play. I THINK that I am all done. It felt so good to pack up the left over material, thread box and misc stuff so that it can go back to the costume warehouse at school. My sewing room and our bar area are once again ours!

Here is a shot of what supplies I used to make the little hats with the rims. They didn't turn out as deep as I would have liked but they are cute, huh? My favorite is the barrel hats. I did notice when I was carrying them up that I orginally meant for the gold trim to be on the top of the hat. That is my signature on most of the things that I turn out of my sewing area. Almost everything has an "oh well" moment.

Tomorrow is the test drive for the costumes and the cast potluck dinner. I'll post a sneak peak of all the costumes then. How do you say relief?

Costuming the OHS Play

One of my new endeavors is creating costumes for the Ozark High School plays. My step-daughter, Nikki, is a senior this year and is very involved with the Drama Department. My Mom and I got involved last spring when Nikki needed help creating some costumes for the production of "Alice In Wonderland".

This fall I am costuming for the production of "Joseph And The Technicolor Dreamcoat". I am letting you catch a sneak peek at the back of you know who's jacket! There are alot of fun costumes in this play. Nikki is Potipher's wife so you can only imagine the boldness of this costume. Another fun one, yet to come, is the costume of Elvis/Pharoah who is played by.....my hubby!

The play runs November 12 & 13 and tickets are $5.00. I invite you to come see Nikki and Shane perform and to catch a eyeball full of costumes!
