Sewing

I have a lot of sewing going on right now. Our church is doing a production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. Guess who's on the costume crew?

I'm responsible for:

• the Coat of Many Colors--I've already made a test coat from muslin (my mom gave me a ton of it from her stash over Christmas, and I've been going through it a lot). I've got most of the fabric for the outer part of the coat, and I guess I'll line it with gold lame, which I don't have yet.
  
• a dress for Mrs. Potiphar--to be worn by our own fabulous Kelsey, so I want her to look great, but still appropriately trampy. I got a boatload of purple panne velvet, and I picked up the pattern for the bodice tonight, so I'll start the muslin test dress tomorrow, and hopefully I can get it finished by next week.
  
• an Elvis/Pharaoh top--I don't need a whole jumpsuit, because of other costume choices, but this is the one that is stumping me the most. To be worn by my own fabulous husband!

There are other miscellaneous pieces to be made, although we already had a lot of stuff. All the robes for the brothers, for instance, were already in our church basement. I'm incredibly thankful for that--not that basic robes are hard to make, but making 11 of them would certainly be time consuming.

Pictures to follow (hopefully) soon!
