Time Warp

Andrea did a tap dance to Time Warp ( chipmunk style) for her dance recital. she had to wear a crazy costume. I loved this photo It looks so Time warped!Andrea picked out the fabric. Metalic blue, lime green with black polka dots and white mesh. I put it together. Leotard , skirt and hair tie.Micky, Ricky, and Enrique- I made the short, suspenders and bowties.


Plaid is hard to work with because you have to match it up. I did an awsome job. Nana would be so proud.
Plaid shorts front (have had to make alterations to these shorts recently because the girl grew.so the button is off center)

Plaid shorts back (I love the way the plaids match in the back)

Grinch

Not 1, not 2, but 5 grinches. The girls wearing them did not like them. Mandy did though. A face only a mother could love.
*note-
1: Don't poke Japanese exchange students hand while sewing fuzzy fabric to gloves. She is happy to help you should be nice in return.
2: Remove all pins from fuzzy fabric gloves before giving them to student to wear.

Alice in Wonderland

Several years ago Studio 109 did a production of Alice inWonderland. I made most of the costumes. below are a few.

Mad Hatter, March Hare, and Dormouse (thant one is Andrea)

Catipillar. Terrific costume when done. Hard to make. Sucks to fix when ripped because it was difficult to repair. Worse when I had to alter the mushroom part so it could be used in a dance number a year later.

Ta- Da!
