Disney’s “High School Musical” (the Musical) is the theatrical version of the highly successful 2006 Disney Original Movie by the same name. The theatrical version runs pretty true to the movie, with the exception of the elimination of Troy’s mother, and the addition of Jack Scott, the narrator. The general story is a combination of…
If you’ve been reading my blog, you know that I helped a friend out with some costumes on late notice for a high school production of “Young Frankenstein”. One of the “quick and dirty” costumes I made for her (think less than 2 hours total) was the costume for the Monster. I don’t have a…
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…
Quick upcycle of a skirt & blouse to a colorful peasant costume.
This next costume is a quick & dirty costume that I made in less than 90 minutes one night–finishing shortly after midnight. I originally wasn’t going to post about it, but, I like how it turned out, and so I thought the idea was worth sharing. Please bear with the after-the-fact pictures. I think you…
After completing my first Young Frankenstein: Peasant Girl #1 costume I was having a good time and decided I needed to make a thrift store run to look for some inspiration. I was hoping to find some white shirts, and maybe a vest or two, and some skirt possibilities. I really liked the border tablecloth and thought…
I recently saw a youth summer production of “Little Mermaid” and I was inspired by some of the fun costumes that I saw. Of course, once I see some costumes and get inspired, then I have to try to make some myself! The base garment I used for this upcycle was a vintage woman’s…
