I've been busy working on the costumes for Hansel and Gretel. Gretel's dress is nearly perfect - but the director wants me to let the hem down - way down. I only hemmed it today, so no bug deal to let it out. I thought it was going to be too long! Nope, not long enough.
Hansel is set - same tunic the actor wore last year, new belt.
Woodcutter just needs his vest completed, now I have the proper length for it I can finish that right up.
StepMother needs a different blouse. Something more homespun. And her skirt needs clasps, but the skirt absolutely looks as fabulous as I thought it would when I saw the pattern, so I am very happy with the result of it.
Witch - I just need to finish the witch - she has a hat already which is a load off my mind.
The Tinker needs a coat, but provided everything else costume-wise (thank the gods!).
Witch 2 is completely done - I gave her the orange and black striped tights.
Ballerina needs a tutu - white, preferably. Working on it.
Politician is done - she provided everything for her costume.
Dowager looks fabulous in her dress - she just needs a tiara.
Sailor is done - but I need to block out the "golf club" stuff on the yellow slicker I found for him.
The only one left is the Magician, and I finally got the go ahead to to a top-hat-and-tails kind instead of the court-jester kind the director mentioned.
So the show looks to be a lot of fun, and the kids are going to *adore* it. But it means I've been head down and sewing for the last week and not really paying attention to the outside world.
I finally cleared the ice off my car yesterday late, because I went to a party, and then it snowed again - but we didn't get as much snow as they predicted - only about six inches instead of the ten we were expecting. Still have an inch of ice on the driveway, but I scraped a few patches clear today as I shoveled.
Ah, well, guess I'll go take down the hem for Gretel. Tell me what all I've been missing this week!
