Details on Costumes

For Dinah's apron I purchased a purple full front apron, cut the top off, serged the extra and then stitched it down. I then added a little touch to the apron by choosing a heart stitch on my sewing machine and stitched along the waistband.

On the inside of Dino's jacket he needed a pocket to hold his silverware. Instead of choosing any old brown fabric I chose this fun patterned duck cloth for the inside pocket. I wanted a pattern in case the audience was able to catch a glimpse of it while the actor was using the pocket. Since the jacket is vintage I finished the edges of the pocket and then hand stitched the pocket to the inside of the jacket. While I was in the zone hand sewing I fixed a few minor holes in the jacket and lining.

Malotke Writes - Updated Website

Guess who got new headshots done? Me! I've been continuing to submit various written pieces (poems, drabbles, flash fiction, short stories, etc.) and have been needing headshots for some of the submissions. Since I have been using my photo from senior year of college (shot for the fashion show program) I had decided that maybe it was time for some new, and way more recent, photos. Pictured left is one of my favorite photos from the photography session. I've already updated my website using a bunch of the photos and I've sent them off for social media / marketing for upcoming interviews & anthologies that I'm included in. Here is a link to my writing website: Malotke Writes
