Costume Trials and tribulations

So my daughters' dance teacher asked if I would help make costumes for this years show, I helped out last year by making some Spanish skirts for teenagers and quite a few circle skirts for girls aged 6 years up to 8 years which was great fun.

Well this year we were short on time due toy job and other commitments we had about 5 weeks in totals. With lots to do it was a push.

5 sun flower costumes

12 nun habits and headdresses

5 half circle skirts 

12 lion costumes

5 50s circle skirts and petticoats 

12 aprons and head scarves

10 tutus needed extra netting to give them more body

And various other bits and pieces

It was a great sense of acheivemt seeing the kids wearing them on stage.

It was a shame I didn't have the time to make the tutus the dance teacher wanted but there is always next year!

Well news about 2015 show looks like there are going to be Irish Riverdance style dresses to make and hand jive costumes for definite so will have to look into making them how exciting :)
