You know how you feel when you’ve been looking for something FOREVER and you finally find it? J*A*C*K*P*O*T (Even though the ironic thing is . . .you’ve probably moved on and now don’t even need it?) Yep, that was me and Urquid Linens. I happened to be reading online reviews about a type of fabric…
I’ve been making Bombie Samba dresses today, and am waiting on a delivery of red lace (hopefully tomorrow!) . . . and I thought I could spend a bit of time finishing up “High School Musical”. There isn’t much hugely creative with any of this stuff, but I’ll share what I used and where I…
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…
OK fellow costume makers . . . here is a place you may want to go check out. (As always, I am a paying customer, and get no kickbacks or benefits from sharing my shopping experiences). My latest shopping “find” is SaleAndBargain.com. After creating my “Young Frankenstein” costumes, and using LOTS of trim on those very…
I am always on the look-out for great sources of fabric for costuming. I found On the Go Linens this Spring and placed a trial order. I have been waiting to share the link until I actually used some of the fabric. Well . . . fast forward several months, and I haven’t made anything (sad…
I first found Afc-Express several years ago when I was costuming “Grease”. In my pre-show prep, I thought that I would most likely be either making or upgrading petticoats . . probably LOTS of petticoats. In the process of my online search for tutorials and information, I found this website. At the time, I ordered some sample…
If you are like me . . .browsing through a sewing catalog or online store looking for hard-to-find items or just unusual things you had NO IDEA that you NEEDED is probably your idea of a good way to waste an hour (or two). When my mom emails me and says “I am going…
Solid Stone Fabrics is one of those online fabric stores that I love. I have ordered from them multiple times over several years and have always been happy with the fabric that I ordered. Shipping is fairly quick and sometimes they run free shipping. My biggest problem is that I like to add…
For all the fact that I have an allergy to cutting things out, and I really like to start with a pre-made garment . . .I love fabric. I love to look at it, I love to shop for it, I love to think about what I could make out of it, and I love…
I thought I would begin to include a few posts on places I like to order supplies from, especially if they are a little “off the beaten path”. I am strictly a consumer and have no relationship with this company. One of these places is Tassel Depot. I came across Tassel Depot last year when I…
