Last friday in 2o12 was a very eventful one for me and other figure skating lovers.
I spent the entire week organizing, sketching, drawing, choosing materials, constructing, cutting and sewing outfits for our skating year closing on ice.
Thankfully "i gained" additional pairs of hands - mom volunteered to help glue and sew all the sequins needed to make the costumes more dramatic and give them that notorious "skating sparkle appeal". Some other girls mom is a seamstress, so i designated her to make the silver hot pants and red tops for devils and princesses. This was really a huge relief on my side, since i dont own an overlock machine and it would probably take me too long to make these 14 pieces.
On the day of the event i still had some unfinished work. Sewing and "sparkling" four white princess crowns was done in the changing room a few hours before the show started. Since there was no one with much makeup skills i then volunteered to do that as well. Thank Dog i didnt have to worry about the hair! Two of my skaters' moms are hairdressers, so that was well taken care of. Even i had the privilege - had a huuuge bun made, and i believe it looked fantastic. :)
ENOUGH with the babbling! Here are a few photos so you get the general idea. Hopefully these will convince you to come to our show in december 2o13! :)
Also: Given the resources we did an amazing job and thanks to all participating in making this as good as it was - THANK YOU!
