It's Curtains

Curtains for a vaudeville theater! This is one of many backdrops for the very fancy theater in the golden retriever movie.

I think I might make a shirt out of this after I finish filming the puppets.

To make it, first I sewed the two fabrics together with lots of seams to make the pattern below. Then I cut out the appropriate amounts of the top layer to make the pattern. Easy!


Mr. Tusks was helpful as usual. Is it getting really boring to post a photo of Mr. Tusks sitting on my sewing every time I sew something? If so, perhaps you can send him a letter to convince him to stop doing it. Until then, here is a photo of Mr. Tusks sitting on the curtain while I was sewing it.


I just got some fringe to finish up another curtain, which is one of the last things I have to make before filming. I also have almost all of the actors lined up to play the various puppets. We're planning to film on June 7th, which is less than two weeks away. I have lots of little things to finish up before then, but I think I should have plenty of time to get it all done.

Those who have already joined will recognize these as parts of the Pillow Pals Membership Packet. Or Membership Pillowcase.

I'm in the midst of finals (and procrastinating) right now. I'm really looking forward to being finished with the semester so I can get to work on the moviemaking again. Most of the puppet scenes are almost ready to be filmed, I just need to focus on getting them done.

I have three more essays to write today, so I guess I'll get back to that.
