{New Dresses!}

May 15, 2020 by kelerr

It’s hard to come up with blog content when you’re not doing all that much. However, I am determined to keep some sort of routine, so posting every Tuesday and Friday holds me accountable for something. That being said… technically it’s Saturday when I’m posting this but I’m backdating it to Friday to keep the posting dates consistent. Oh well… today is short and sweet anyway! I am still not in the mood to wear my newly made clothes. I […]

{Me Made May 2020}

May 5, 2020 by kelerr

Well, it’s May. We’re still quarantining. But the show must go on… or, at the very least, I like to find ways of being as normal as humanly possible during this time. That means participating in my usual challenges. May brings us the annual Me Made May from Sozo Blog. The idea is that you set a goal for yourself in regards to your handmade wardrobe for the month of May (if you want the full details, click on the […]

{Adventures in T-Shirt Making}

April 28, 2020 by kelerr

Somehow I am still struggling to figure out how to manage my time efficiently in this quarantine. While I manage to keep my remote teaching within the confines of the school day hours, I am doing other projects for my job (social media based) that take up time. I’m also staying with my sister and her family, and even though I’m not the primary caregiver of the three kids, they still want a lot of my attention! I’ve also been […]

{Costume Design: Frozen, Part Three – Elsa}

April 24, 2020 by kelerr

Here are are at the final installment of my break down of the Frozen, Jr. costume. We’ve reached the “money costume:” Elsa’s transformation dress! I will also be breaking down Elsa’s “casual” since it was also an integral part of the design. We’ll begin with the basic concept. Despite this being a middle school version of Frozen, we wanted to go all out with the transformation. We wanted that dress to disappear off of Elsa’s body at just the right […]

{Costume Design: Frozen, Part Two – The Ensemble}

April 21, 2020 by kelerr

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 […]

{Costume Design: Frozen, Part One – The Main Characters}

April 17, 2020 by kelerr

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 […]

{Latest Makes: March 2020}

April 7, 2020 by kelerr

With everything going on in the world, I didn’t realize how productive I’ve actually been the last couple of weeks. I thought it was time to show off my latest makes, minus one which I never got to wear (it was for the TWA Hotel birthday) and which is not currently on me to model just for a picture. My sewjo has been lackluster, at best, the last couple of months. I wanted to sew but my desire to actually […]

To say we’re all having a rough time right now would be a serious understatement. But I’m determined to keep my blog light in this now very heavy world, and so I’m not going to go into what we’re all struggling with in too much detail. I mean, you know it all anyway already, and there’s no use in me rehashing facts and figures. Personally, I can only read the news once per day to stay informed, and then I […]

March 10, 2020 by kelerr

Now that I finally have time to sew for myself again, I’ve started with abandon. I was able to finish one work-in-progress that I’ve had going for quite some time, as well as whip up a brand new dress in an afternoon! My first make was one I started back in January, when I made my resolution to sew at least ten minutes a day. This was a resolution that I kept up with, although not everyday. Even so, because […]
