Costumes are done!!
I haven't been able to quilt much in the last month becase I had to
make costumes for our Children's Theater. They are doing Seussical the Musical (Dr.Seuss stories set to music). DD is Gertrude McFuzz - the bird with the one-feather tail. Gertrude is in love with Horton the Elephant, but he is so busy with the Whos and Amazing Mayzie's egg that he hardly notices that she is alive. It's a very cute play. All parents are required to serve on 2 committees - one pre-production and one post-production. Because they know that I can sew, I'm always on the wardrobe committee. This time I had to make Gertrude's costume and 3 Can-Can dresses (complete with ruffles on the underskirt and made of satin) for the Bird Girls. These costumes will be used again in other shows, so I had to use a size 14 dress and "just take it in where it needs". Yeah right - Gertrude is a size 10, two are size 6 and the smallest Bird Girl wears a size 4 - I had seam allowances of up to 2 inches. Keep in mind that 3 girls are in 9th grade and one is in 12th grade, so they all want them absolutely perfect. I probably went overboard both in construction and in fitting, but they look great and the girls love them. I'm done!!!!! Tonight is the final dress rehearsal, the show starts Saturday night. I'm no longer buried in satin and can breathe again DD has discovered musical theater and has announced that her career goal is to be famous on Broadway. She has decided that her first choice college is NYU and her second choice is Julliard. She's in 9th grade, so we will just have to wait and see how far this goes. Kim |

Here are the pictures:
http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/kimene...en%3as,1%3af,0 The costume director added sleeves to the dresses for all 6 Bird Girls as well as Gertrude's. I watched dress rehearsal tonight. If we can get the brass players to cut the decibel level in half, get the clarinets and violins to tune, and get the music director to STOP SINGING with the singers (especially since she sings off-key!!!!), it should be a good show. DD and the Cat in the Hat are about ready to throw something at her. Kim |
