Fiddler on the Roof: Peasant Costume #7

This costume was inspired by some fabric I found while helping with a youth sewing project this week.  Our church makes school kits for refugees as a summer youth project.  The quilting group saves donated fabric that is suitable for school bags throughout the year.  I was helping trouble-shoot sewing machines for beginning sewers, and…

Fiddler on the Roof: Peasant Costume #6

Have I mentioned that I am having the BEST time making these costumes?  Mixing and matching patterns, colors and prints is so much fun . . .  and much more satisfying than breaking off weeds that won’t pull out of my sun-baked clay, or cleaning . . . although I DID do a deep clean…

Fiddler on the Roof: Peasant Costume #5

I am now moving into the “variations on a theme” sort of post.  Shirt + skirt + linen = outfit.  I have a few more ideas for different base garments, and hopefully I will get to those in the next couple of weeks.  This is college-apartment moving season for daughters #3 & #4, and I…

Fiddler on the Roof: Peasant costume #4

I’m continuing to work on some potential chorus costumes for an upcoming production of “Fiddler on the Roof”.  This project did not end up being one of my favorites, but the components have potential, even if the end outfit is lacking. I began with four pieces:  a black/white stripe blouse, a cream knit peplum top,…

Fiddler on the Roof: Peasant costume #3 (navy blue)

My last project began with a woman’s blouse that was already fitted through the body, and I liked the shape of that shirt (see Fiddler on the Roof: Peasant Costume #2).  So, for this project, I wanted to do a little remodeling with the shirt.  I also liked the look of the blouse worn outside the…

Fiddler on the Roof: Peasant Costume #2

I’m continuing in my exploration on different ways to upcycle thrifted garments and lines to create the peasant/villager outfits for an upcoming production of “Fiddler on the Roof”.  I am continuing to work with combining different patterns and textures, and hoping to end up with an Eastern European feel.  In my first costume, I ended…

Fiddler on the Roof: Peasant Dress #1

One of my friends is costuming “Fiddler on the Roof” this fall.  This is a new musical for me (well, to costume . . . my kids were chorus members years ago 10-12 years ago).    I began by doing an image search of the costumes, as well as looking for costume plots.  I also…
