aka: THE CRAZY COSTUME LADY:: Feel free to browse my old blog (Aunt George's House), there is a link in the right column...four years worth of blogging, sewing, sharing, tears and joys. My new costumer blog will be filled with joy and lots of new creations. I need a way to share what I am doing with my friends, family and fellow costumers. Thank you for stopping by! Let me know you were here!

Repairs are also part of the costumer's skillset

Prince John's Jacket with a new sparkly knife holder and pendant


Prince John's princely pants
Poor Prince John's pants were in shreds.  I was able to open up the pant legs and salvage enough of the velvet pieces that were sewn in as part of the seam to fuse and mend the huge shredded holes in these pants.  One would never know from a distance, but these pants were disjointed and in shreds when Danielle...my daughter and costume assistant extraordinaire' found them in the dark recesses of the Little Theater's Costume shop.  She also miraculously found the original jacket that was made to go with these pants, also in terrible shape....I know they are a matched set from the inner lining used in both.  It also have been lovingly repaired and brought back from rag bag status to stage ready!
