Day 15: I am so thankful to have some free time! It's been hard getting things done today. It's rainy and it's nice to not have a long list of things that should have been done yesterday. I didn't get up until 10 this morning!
As promised, here are a few photos... I didn't get many taken because it's always so rushed backstage. But these are the major things I sewed.
Long John Silver's coat and hat: Someone else on the costume team sewed the buttons on for me. That was nice!
Sky blue jacket that "had seen better days": I made this jacket then we distressed it. Missing buttons, charcoal dust, dirt, etc. This jacket was made to fit two different people - a tall, thin young man and a shorter young lady. The cuffs were altered to flip up for her and down for him.
Captain Smollett's uniform: We got a shirt from the thrift store and had a scarf for his neck. The rest of the outfit was made from thin microsuede fabric. I'm pleased with how it turned out. It's a bit big on this actor and even bigger on the other. But I made it large to be sure it fit.
Everyone on the costume team (plus the organization's president) worked so hard to help Rhonda (the other costumer) and me get everything ready. They are a great group of ladies and I am thankful for them, too!
What a great job you do! I remembering thinking that when looking at last years pictures. You deserved to sleep till 10 this morning!
