I imagine there are some wonderful costumes ready to be worn tonight.

Here is a medley of some of my personal costumes ... ones you might not have seen before, mostly from my community theater adventures. 
Picture
Queen of the Fairies - Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta Iolanthe, performed with the Washington Savoyards
Picture
At Costume College 2005 with another attendee. We both used my "Ever After" pattern for our gowns. ps I would love to know who this is, if anyone knows.
Picture
Marian the Librarian from the Music Man when I was 21 ... and I designed and made my costume even then.
Picture
In my padded underwear playing Ruth in The Pirates of Penzance with the Victorian Lyric Opera Company
Picture
Wearing some neat vintage clothes for a concert performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta Grand Duke.
Picture
And wearing a thrift store get-up playing Marcellina in an modern dress version of Mozart's Marriage of Figaro.
I'd love to see some of the things you've made.


Send me an email from the contact page and I'll write back with an email address where you can send photos.

Hi Andrea! I just LOVE your patterns! Just bought your new Titanic--THANK YOU!!! It is beautiful! So cool to learn that you are a performer as well!! I live in Mukilteo--so you must have spent time up here with the Savoyards? I hope they are still together. I haven't heard where they are performing now, if they still are. J

Hi Joan, I don't know where Mulilteo is ... I live in Maryland. Hope you have fun with my new pattern and make something beautiful. Are you a singer? If so, what kind of stuff do you do?

Mukilteo is in Washington state, south of Everett, north of Seattle. There is/was a local musical theater group here called the NW Savoyards, but clearly that is not the one you belonged to, if you are on the east coast! I just love costuming and make things for the fun of it, and to wear to events with the costuming group out of Seattle I belong to called Somewhere in Time, Unlimited. I had founded a women's history performance troupe in Colorado when I lived there so used to perform with them. We did 5 minute first-person interpretations of real women of the west.
