day of sheer organza, harlequin fabirc and blue material

patches on mad hatter shirt

Today was our last day of being able to use the university costume rooms as they are going to be having building construction done to them. So Myself and my assistants Phillip and Libby set to work tailoring and creating patches for the mad hatters shirt, making the dress for alice and the bodice for the white queen. I still cant use a sewing machine so i took to the art of delegation  giving Libby the material to make patches for the mad hatter shirt whilst i tailored the shirt. i am still slightly concerned the actor will gain muscle so i have kept a bit of room in the shirt, however that being said it will need to be watched. Phillip worked on the alice skirt draping the material over the mannequin to get a rough fit which may be adjusted at fittings. Whilst this was happening I was able to start cutting out fabric lining and pinning the white queen bodice together ready for sewing. I feel a bit at a loose end as far as sewing goes however as soon as i am signed off for my arm i will be back behind the machine at full force. below are pictures of the construction of the various garments
