COSTUME FOR THE THATRE

' Lots of Bling'

This is a recent costume I constructed for an actor playing the part of

Elvis Presley in a play called Cooking with Elvis.

'Frock coat'

Another costume for the theatre.

The original fabric of the coat was perished and beyond use so I unpicked it

and used the pieces as my pattern. It is made in velvet, using the original

braiding from the original coat which I remade using new fabric. A lot of

the braiding was also  worn so I spent a fair while matching the embroidery

threads to repair the patterning.

SPRING TIME SCARVES

Colourful scarves for spring time worked in silk and mixed fibre threads

'Nuno' felted onto various shear fabrics.

  A change of shape this time I have made a triangular shaped scarf. I find

it is a very versatile shape and can be worn as a shawl, tied to the front

or I like to wear this design with the triangle shape point under the chin

and then the long ends crossed at the back and brought round to the front.

The later a perfect muffler to keep out the cold wind without too much bulk.
