{Costume Design: Glow}

February 26, 2019 by kelerr

This week is an insanely busy week for me (The Little Mermaid is in just TWO DAYS!!), so I’ve opted to do a repost of a Glow costume review I wrote shortly after the first season came out, just slightly updated with the second season. Some of the grammar might turn out strange since I wrote this post over a year ago, but I’m leaving it as it for the most part. I am completely addicted to Glow. That came […]

{Out and About: Alice By Heart}

February 22, 2019 by kelerr

Last week, I finished up my six show series of seeing a show on Friday night. It all began in January with Clueless: The Musical, and it came to a (temporary!) close with Alice By Heart, an off-Broadway show written and directed by Jessie Nelson and music by Duncan Sheik. The show is a twist on the classic Alice in Wonderland story, in which a young woman is using the classic tale to help her cope with the impending death […]

{Costume Design: Favorite Looks from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel}

February 19, 2019 by kelerr

Unless you’ve been living under a rock recently, you’ve probably seen, or at the very least heard of, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Almost everyone I know watched the story of Midge Maisel, the picture perfect housewife-turned-comedienne after her husband leaves her. I first discovered the show during Amazon’s pilot season. I watched it on a whim, fell in love with it and then didn’t hear anything else about it for a while. Finally, the whole first season came out and […]

{Five Things I’ve Learned from Sewing}

February 15, 2019 by kelerr

I first began sewing about eighteen or nineteen years ago. As I remember it, I was probably around twenty when I took it up as a real interest and started developing my skills. It started with simply wanting to make Jane Austen Regency-style gowns (a la the costume designs of Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility). I used old sheets when I started, and just jumped in, knowing next to nothing. My first couple of projects were riddled with […]

{Out and About: My Fair Lady}

February 12, 2019 by kelerr

Last week, I continued my Friday night theater series, something that started accidentally, but when I discovered that I had booked theater tickets for three Fridays in a row, I started adding more Fridays in to see how many weeks I could go with a Friday theater night (as of right now, February 15 is my last scheduled one). This past Friday was a Christmas gift for my mom, who really wanted to see Laura Benanti in My Fair Lady. […]

{My Makes: January 2019}

February 8, 2019 by kelerr

I’m sad to say that I do not have a ton to show you this month, however to make up for it I’m going to post some previews of my costumes for The Little Mermaid once I show you the one thing I’ve managed to make for myself recently. I’m actually cheating because the dress I’m going to show off here was actually made at the very, very end of December, right before my Christmas vacation ended and I had […]

{Out and About: Waitress, Take Four}

February 5, 2019 by kelerr

My current favorite Broadway obsession is Waitress, and it has been for quite some time. Long time blog readers may remember my posts about seeing it three other times. I first saw it about two years ago, when Jessie Mueller was starring in the lead role of Jenna Hunterson. She was brilliant, as was the whole rest of the cast. I was immediately hooked. The second time I saw it because Sara Bareilles, who wrote the music and lyrics, was […]

{What I Read: January 2019}

February 1, 2019 by kelerr

Of the many things I like to do when I’m not sewing, reading is one of the top choices on my list. For a few years I was doing posts on all the books I read individually and soon my blog became just about books, because I didn’t have time or the stamina to really write about anything else. In the rebrand, I did away with that, and am now planning a monthly reading update. Some months will have tons […]
