Theatrical Sewing

For the past month, I've been helping out a friend with a little dilemma that she's been having. Her musical theatre class ran into a problem when they couldn't rent costumes for their production. In an effort to make sure that her class had costumes, my friend went out and bought material & patterns. But the people that agreed to do the sewing, ended up dropping out. I got word from my friend's sister that she was desperate for sewers and agreed to take on a few. I doubt that she realized that I'd be doing them all by hand at first, but she knows now and is quite impressed. Anyway here are the costumes for 'Once Upon A Mattress', the king & two princes. To let you know, the buckles on all three are old broaches that I was planning on getting rid of anyway, but they work well in this application.

Creative partner

I have a little partner who either helps or hinders my projects. She is a great model for my photography, because she is graceful and slowly moves, allowing me to easily capture her. But when it comes to my drawing or sewing projects, she lays right on top, as the case tonight.
