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…

Young Frankenstein: Peasant Dress #7

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…

Young Frankenstein: Peasant Girl #6

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…

Young Frankenstein: Peasant Girl #5

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…

Young Frankenstein: Peasant Girl #4, with circle skirt musings

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…

90 minutes or less: Old Woman, Peasant, Villager Raised-waist Costume (plus size)

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…

Tablecloth Upcycle: Peasant Overskirt in 15″

I love peasant/villager outfits . . . there are so many variations and combinations, and it is fun to mix and match to make different looks, time periods and social standing.  What I really like are LAYERS, and VOLUME . . both of which can take some time and money to achieve.   We have…

Villager Overdress Outfit “Concept Costume” : Upcycle

In the production of “Cinderella” that I saw, one of the Villagers had an outfit on that intrigued me as it was a little different that the “typical” corset look.  I liked it because I thought it had a lot of potential for versatility, and a mix-and-match approach with other skirts and peasant style shirts.…
