Hi y'all,

Jayne and I were thinking again, and talking about costumes or costume bits, and we mentioned some thoughts to Stan who said it was along the lines of what the commitee had been discussing, and she thought it might be usefull to forward these ideas to the committee.  Basically we thought that if everyone was wearing basic black, something like yoga pants or footless tights maybe, then costume pieces could be used like props.  For example, if we made a big black, or colorful even, rectangle out of some fabric not needing to be hemmed or ironed, then it could become a skirt, a shawl, a wrap, a cape or what you will.  We took a few photos since I was playing with a similar type of skirt I have.  It kind of illustrates the idea......the fabric would be different than that in the photos, and ignore the long ties at the ends and my bad hair, but....what do y'all thinkl??  I think we can possibly get some cheap fabric from Jayne's mom who still owns a fabric/sewing shop.

I attached the photos as a word document to reduce them in size.  Let me know if you need a different format.

big hugs,

kathy
