6 fair trade bridesmaid dresses with matching linings = lots of piles of blue.

Today I have been busy making giant furry shoes.

A Sketchy Mouse

The initial design for when little mouse ventures out in the snow.

Tick tock...

Where has the time gone? I swear it was July last week. I've been such a busy bee these past few months, and have been utterly hopeless at snapping it all. But yesterday I finally remembered.
I'm currently working for Blunderbus theatre company as their solo costumer for three upcoming shows. It's exciting and challenging and I'm loving it - even when the heater won't turn on!
Mostly I'm making the costumes for their show "A Very Snowy Christmas" about a little mouse and a big mouse. The actresses are lovely but they are decidedly un-mouse-shaped so it's been padding galore the past few days. I was worrying that there wasn't enough wadding in there but after seeing the shape with the britches mock up on I think they're round enough.

You can hear all about the Blunderbus goings on on their Twitter feed @blunderbusbugle

I just found this blog and its very interesting so I thought I'd share. The posts are definitely worth a read so if your a bit if a skimmer it's worth the extra effort, they are really informative.
