It’s always a major bummer when you begin digging through your stock costumes hunting for pieces you can adapt for your next show and you come up . . . empty. When you combine that with a large chorus . . . it’s well, just a lot of work. My sister is estimating she needs…
If you do an image search for Truly Scrumptious costumes you will most likely see either the ruffled white dress or the puppet costume. You may also see a few partial pictures of some of her other outfit: a pink suit, a peasant-themed outfit in Vulgaria, and this blue ensemble: Initially this outfit is covered…
I have a new project starting . . costumes for a production of “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”. My sister is costuming this show and was planning on renting costumes. Unfortunately, that didn’t work out for her, so instead, it’s into the sewing room. The show hasn’t been cast yet, but in the meantime, it seemed…
My costuming life has been revolving around red and white these days . . hopefully finishing up “High School Musical” soon so I can move on without guilt! At some point I will share what I did . . . but I regret it is nothing too inspired. Anyone can order red & white uniforms…

And here we are . . . on the last of seven variations on a theme. This post is a little sketchy–so if this is the first one you are reading, and it seems like I am skipping a few steps, I suggest you could look at the previous posts in this series. Not only…
The outfit for Peasant Girl #6 was a fairly quick upgrade, and required very little additional fabric, which is a plus if you don’t happen to have any lying around. I also did something a little different with the blouse, which, while (somewhat) unintentional, didn’t turn out half bad–and has given me a few other…
This post is about the 5th Peasant Girl outfit I made for “Young Frankenstein”. I think this is my favorite one. This particular tablecloth was floral with a plaid border. I love the large print and the built-in detail created by the border–with no additional work on my part. I don’t use a lot…
And here we are, in the fourth installation of the seven part “Peasant Girl” series from Young Frankenstein. For this outfit I went back to the round tablecloth method of making a skirt, and if I do say so myself, I think it turned out pretty cute. Circle Skirt Musing: I want to talk a…
