Dance Concert Costumes

I have been plugging away at the costumes for the upcoming dance concert. I have 2 weeks to go and 22 outfits to go....but there are two of us and one of us doesnt have small children! So we should be ok...the concert isnt for a month but we want to finish up in two weeks to have some time up our sleeves.

The theme is ABBA - Mama Mia...lots of flares and sparkles!

Here is some of what I have been working on.



These are the last costumes we are doing as we had to wait ages for the fabric. Its a flared white lycra pant and there will be a white lycra raglan flared sleeved top to go with it. These are actually a bit fiddly and not quite the production line garment some of the others have been. There are 22 of these to make - I have completed two!




This number is one of Laineys costumes...its been drafted from a combo of patterns I had. Its a yolked flared sleeved long tunic - and will have some matching bloomers as all the little girls wearing this will be in nappies.

I am having fun doing it but am fatiguing - I also look forward to sewing time being for me. But I volunteered all of my time and I am still very happy I am doing it - but its been a long process.
