Treasures of the Gypsy

Yesterday, I received my entry package for this annual doll show held in Houston each fall. This is always an exciting surprise, because although I’ve known the theme of the show for months (it changes each year) and may have even made costume sketches – the fabrics and trims in the entry package have the final say.  The fabric pieces are  are small, about 12″ by 18″, the trims 12″ to 18″ long as well.  And each fabric and trim MUST be used – along with your own fabrics and trims.  Depending on your personal ‘stash’ of fabrics and trims, this can add up to some awesome costumes! This year’s theme is Mardi Gras, so you can bet the show is going to be mind blowing!!
