Magi/Wise man #3 has his own set of creative details. The fabric is an elegant scarlet silky satin with a beautiful sheen and yummy drape. The tunic very simply pulls over the head, then ties with a woven brushed cotton herringbone burgundy sash. The sash now has a black tassel…
Wise man/Magi #2 was our tallest actor, and the overall design was elaborate. With the beautiful watercolor blue batik and the white accents, I wanted this to have a strongly masculine feeling to it. I wanted to play with couching on my Bernina 790+ Crystal Edition, so I used presser…
My church asked us to create three wise man costumes for the Christmas Eve drama. I was excited to work on this project because (1) it helps share the message in a unique way; (2) the costumes will be used for many years; (3) we can experiment with sewing techniques.…
