Costuming...

This afternoon I met Daughter Mary Mae and Granddaughter Claire at the JoAnn Fabric Store in Mount Vernon. We had looked at fabric and patterns last week, then MM checked with the costumer. She like our choice of patterns for the wolves of Pan, the Musical, the next show that Claire is going to be in, so today we bought it.

Then we headed over to Mount Vernon Presbyterian Church where the costumer was working on the costumes for the show. Claire is playing one of the Lost Boys. Varick's friend Gillian had helped her put together some black fishnet tights, a neon green skirt layered over a black one, the boots I bought her a couple of weeks ago and a black top. The costumer liked that look, but is thinking she wants to finish it off with a raggy plaid flannel shirt.

We talked with her about the furry fabric we had seen at JoAnn's, then looked at a old shaggy gray throw blanket she had. After a bit of discussion, we decided to go with cutting up the blanket for the costumes. Even with this week's 40% discount, that beats $16.95 a yard fur fabric!

Sister Roxy is coming up on Wednesday and we told her to bring her sewing machine -- it's payback time! (I had helped her sew muffs, ear muffs and vests for her two darling granddaughters the last time I was there.) It should be a fun day. There are only going to be two little wolves, so it shouldn't take us too long to take care of the outfits.
