{Costume Review: Grace Kelly’s High Society Wardrobe}

January 29, 2019 by kelerr

NOTE: This post is a repost from a few years ago. This Tuesday’s post was going to be about my trip to My Fair Lady, but time got away from me this weekend while trying to finish up The Little Mermaid costumes and so I’m going to save that one for when I can actually write it at a leisurely pace. So enjoy a little “blast from the blog past” today! This week, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) has been […]

{Costume Design: A Series of Unfortunate Events}

January 25, 2019 by kelerr

On January 1, Netflix aired the final season of their adaptation of Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. The series followed the lives of Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire after the death of their parents in a tragic fire, and the subsequent bad fortune that befalls them. I read the books when I was younger, but definitely not the age the books were intended for. I was in my early twenties, and I never finished the series as I […]

{Out and About: Dear Evan Hansen}

January 22, 2019 by kelerr

I swear I don’t go out as much as this recent string of out and about posts would imply. Normally I’m just home binge-watching Netflix and working on sewing projects, but for whatever reason the next couple of weeks are full of shows. Currently, I’m in the middle of a six show Friday night streak, and I’m outlining them all here. This past Friday’s show was Dear Evan Hansen, the Tony-award winning Broadway musical. A co-worker of mine was nice […]

{Out and About: The Mad Hatter’s G&T}

January 18, 2019 by kelerr

Last week I did a review of The Cauldron, an immersive Harry Potter potions experience, and it made me realize that I never posted about my Mad Hatter’s G&T experience back in June. This was along the same lines as the Cauldron experience, in that you mixed and made your own cocktails, but this time around it was all based on Alice in Wonderland, which beats out even Harry Potter for one of my favorite stories of all time. Bear […]

{Out and About: Clueless the Musical}

January 15, 2019 by kelerr

I know what you’re thinking. There’s a Clueless musical? As, if! But there is… and Friday evening my friend Sarah and I headed on over to check it out. We first learned about it when we saw Puffs (the unofficial Harry Potter-based show which focuses on the life of the members of Hufflepuff House). In the program a little ad for Clueless caught my eye, and by the time the show ended, we had tickets in hand! The evening began […]

{Out and About: The Cauldron NYC}

January 11, 2019 by kelerr

“You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion-making. As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don’t expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses. . . I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death — if […]

{Make Nine Goals: 2019}

January 8, 2019 by kelerr

Instagram is a funny thing, isn’t it? Through the power of social media, I have learned so many little challenges and hashtags that I can participate in. One fine example of this is the #makenine challenge, in which you post a grid image of nine patterns that you plan to make in the upcoming year. I’m sharing my Make Nine a little more officially here, with some fabric choices and ideas, and with the full knowledge that I will almost […]

{My Makes: 2018 Highlights}

January 4, 2019 by kelerr

In 2018, I began transitioning my wardrobe from ready-made to “me made.” It kind of happened by accident at first, but after a while I realized I was buying more fabric than ready-to-wear clothing, and preferring my makes to the items I had bought in the store. After a lot of summertime sewing, I actually had wearable pieces that I had created with my own two hands, and I was excited to show them off. I feel the need to […]

{It’s Sew Fancy!}

January 1, 2019 by kelerr

The brilliant Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman, Parks & Recreation) once said, “Don’t half-ass two things.  Whole-ass one thing.”  It is with those words in mind that I welcome you to Sew Fancy, formerly both Pig & Pepper Shop and The Fancy Girl’s Guide to the Universe, but now finding its new home with a slightly new focus. Rather than having a blog for random musings, an Etsy shop AND a photography site, I’m taking the things I love and approaching them all […]
