Note: This post is originally from 2018 and it outlines the Beast costume. I’m doing limited new blogging this week as I am costuming not one but TWO virtual shows and just have a ton to do. Something will have to give and blogging is low on my priority list. However, as it happens, I did a series of posts from when we originally did Beauty and the Beast. Since we’re rebooting it this year, I thought it fitting to […]

I was so excited when I found out we were still having our work Halloween costume competition this year. As usual, I had a plan. I had already decided last year that I was going solo this year, so learning that there would be no group costumes was no problem for me. I was going rogue and solo and perfectly on brand for me as… a Pin Cushion! For added fun, I decided to also include a measuring tape scarf […]

A week and a half ago, I posted my update on my second Marvelous Mrs. Maisel dress recreation, hoping that I would soon be able to post the finished product. It’s a dress I began working on many months ago, and have probably been planning since last September when I first saw it in the Miami After Dark scene on the show. A few days after that post went live, I was determined to finish the dress once and for […]

NOTE: This is a repost from the old blog archives before I moved everything over to Sew Fancy Brooklyn. Unfortunately we are in musical limbo for the foreseeable future. Being back at work makes me feel really nostalgic and sad about it, so I thought I’d share some previous show work (also I completely forgot today was Tuesday and I needed a blog post!). Upon reading this post back, I clearly intended it to be the first in the series […]

A few weeks ago, I posted about how I was starting to work on my Marvelous Mrs. Maisel costume recreation. The dress in question was seen in the Miami After Dark episode, and it worn when Lenny Bruce takes Midge to the show and then they go dancing. I fell hard for this dress the second it hit the screen, and immediately had to think about how I was going to recreate it. The original idea had been to make […]

I promise this has not become a BSC fan site, though I will be the first to admit that’s what it looks like. What happened to sewing, you might ask? Well, it’s still happening, but quite slowly. This remains, at it’s heart, a mostly about sewing blog though I do discuss my small list of interests as stated in the little tagline of the site! I also want to remain fairly relevant and talk about things in a timely fashion, […]

I don’t have a ton of sewing to show off from the last couple of weeks. I am sewing, but it’s at a slower pace since I’m still staying with family and working remotely and so my time is taken up by more stuff, and I don’t love sewing outside of my set up space at home. However, I have found ways to be productive and make some things happen. So when I sat down to think about the post […]

Today I continue the break down of the Frozen costumes with the ensemble characters, namely the villagers of Arendelle and the Hidden Folk. It is always a challenge to create the ensemble, as it generally involves a ton of kids playing multiple parts. However, the ensemble is extremely important for creating the mood of the show and ensuring that the audience believes that they are transported. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the different ensemble parts required […]

It always takes me a while to decompress from a show enough to sit down, go through the pictures and write a post on the costumes, but I always get to it eventually. This year was an emotional doozy, and I am not entirely sure why. Perhaps it has to do with the group of children we are saying goodbye to, or maybe its the sheer amount of time and energy we all put into making this show the best […]
