I often find myself worrying that my work isn’t perfect — noticing every little imperfection and being far too hard on myself.

But then I see some of the costumes being produced by big costume companies, often charging far more than I do, and it reminds me to give myself a little grace.

Perfection isn’t the goal. Creating something with care, passion and love is.

So, maybe I need to stop being my own harshest critic and start appreciating just how much work goes into what I do.

There is something rewarding about an alteration which isn’t complicated and I don’t need to think about exactly what would look best.

It’s nice to finally finish something now it’s school holidays! 2 costumes bagged ready for an amazing dancer plus a repair or uniform complete today!

Benefits of being able to sew include last minute mending on troupe costumes when you find a snag that keeps unravelling 🤣🤷‍♀️ infinitycircusandacro

Costume creation is not all fun. It’s stressful, time consuming, experimental, and costly. But the end result is so rewarding when it finally comes together!
Toil of a costume I’m working on, not my daughter but she put it on to help me see how it looked.

It’s been a while since I posted last. I resigned from my job and started a new job so I’ve been learning new policies and procedures rather than sewing.
This weekend was marking drafts and mending dance costumes. I did make a little bit of creative time with Liquid Radiance. When it is dried I will show you the finished products.

Creative holidays shirts ready to wear today!

Genesis Creations liquid radiance and flat paints used to create these fun shirts.

I love being able to create with the kids!

I can finally share the duo set I created, wasted a lot of material on and stressed over to the last minute to get this on!
