{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 […]

{Current Projects}

March 24, 2020 by kelerr

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 […]

{Latest Makes: Emma and Lilou}

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 […]

{December Sewing Update}

January 17, 2020 by kelerr

Seems insane to do the December sewing update in the middle of January, but here we are. I don’t have a ton to report that doesn’t have to do with Frozen, and looking back at my pictures I’m realizing that all projects I worked on are ones that I don’t want to show off until they appear on stage! So, I’m going to try and write this out without being too boring, and show off some cryptic previews. First off […]

{Costume Design: Belle’s Ballgown from Beauty and the Beast}

December 20, 2019 by kelerr

NOTE: This is a repost from two years ago.  Prepping for the holidays have me busily running around trying to get everything done before the celebrations begin (including an early one this weekend!).  With Frozen Jr. getting closer and closer, I thought it would be fun to look back at Beauty and the Beast. This will be the first in my series on my costumes for Beauty and the Beast.  I’ve been holding off on posting any progress photos for […]

{Sewing is Cheaper Than Therapy}

November 29, 2019 by kelerr

I have has this post sitting in my drafts for months, mostly written but never posted. While the title is an amusing statement said by many sewists, for me it actually covers a semi-heavier topic. I have generalized anxiety disorder, with a strong lean towards social anxiety disorder (or perhaps the other way around if I’m being completely honest; I become a nervous wreck anticipating social situations and things that often seem like nothing to other people – like calling […]

{Monthly Sewing Update: October 2019}

November 5, 2019 by kelerr

As I mentioned in last month’s makes post, I am changing the regular feature to a “sewing update.” This time of year, I have barely any personal sewing time, and so the months of my having four or five makes to show off are just not happening right now. I am swamped with Frozen instead (which sounds negative but I truly love being swamped with the musical!). That being said, I did manage to make something for myself this month! […]
