Sew Smart: Ear Bud Case
http://henri-annsblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/ear-bud-case.html
Costumes, Sewing, Crafts and More. Thursday, January 19, 2012. So my daughter loves Craftgawker and Pinterest and she got me started perusing those sites as well. Usually she finds something she likes and says- "can you make this mom? She saw this ear bud case that you can hang on your key chain and had to have it. I followed the tutorial found at Dog Under My Desk. And created something very similar. We used fabric from a pack of coordinating fat quarters that we bought at Wal-Mart. It was easy!

Sew Smart: February 2012
http://henri-annsblog.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Costumes, Sewing, Crafts and More. Friday, February 3, 2012. A few years ago I did the costumes for "My Fair Lady" at The Plaza Theatre. As usual, we had a limited budget, but I was determined to have professional looking costumes. With a lot of hard work and penny pinching, we succeeded! The most iconic scene is the Ascot scene. Everyone was in black and white or gray. The men were all wearing "morning suits" with gray or black top hats. Here is what the original looked like. There is no currently avail...

Sew Smart: A Bag Made From Plastic Bags!
http://henri-annsblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/bag-made-from-plastic-bags.html
Costumes, Sewing, Crafts and More. Friday, February 3, 2012. A Bag Made From Plastic Bags! I am on a spring-cleaning binge. I'm also in a "let's save the earth by recycling" mindset, so that slows down the cleaning process quite a bit. I don't want to just throw things into the landfill. That's why I have a room full of boxes of stuff to sell at a garage sale. Soon, soon . . . . I decided to make something from them. Here's what I made. I got real fancy and kept the different bags separate. The botto...

I have to say, See Kate Sew. Is a pretty cool sewing blog. I made a few changes in the directions and this is what I came up with:. Sorry for my crappy photography! I just use my iPhone. My daughter picked out the fabrics she liked for the scallops. We varied the patterns, colors and textures, but all were cotton.

Sew Smart: Frugal Costuming, Part I
http://henri-annsblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/frugal-costuming-part-i.html
Costumes, Sewing, Crafts and More. Tuesday, January 24, 2012. Frugal Costuming, Part I. Most of my sewing revolves around creating costumes for a community theater. As a non-profit theater in a small town, we work on a tight budget. I've come up with lots of techniques to minimize the cost of creating costumes without the costumes looking "cheap". This will be the first in a series of articles about frugal costuming. I hope some of these ideas will help other community theaters or schools. There is an am...
