The local high school recently put on a production of Seussical the Musical, and invited a couple of local primary schools to be involved as citizens of Whoville.  Stella is a keen performer, who takes dance and voice lessons outside of school, and she was thrilled to take part in Seussical.  My involvement was in making a costume.

The brief was strong primary colours. Stella wanted a skirt and leggings, and there was the perfect skirt fabric in stash. I easily turned the knit-printed scuba into a circle skirt on an elastic waistband after referring to one of the myriad of circle skirt tutorials that are available online. The leggings are the Go To Patterns leggings pattern, sewn in size 12. And originally I also sewed a long-sleeved tee from the Hey June City Park tee pattern, also in size 12.

In the end the kids were all provided with tee-shirts with pom poms attached, so she didn’t need the purple tee that I’d sewn. The kids all had a marvellous time performing, and of course I think that Stella was outstanding! It’s a really fun production and I’m really pleased that the primary school kids had the opportunity to be part of it. Stella was also thrilled that we let her temporarily dye her hair red for the occasion.
