We have many wonderful memories of living in Europe, and Fasching/Carnevale is one of them. The fabric stores began carrying a fantastic assortment of beautiful fabrics and patterns for creating costumes to wear at celebrations prior to Ash Wednesday. I made several fun items for my girls when they were young - capes, fru-fru dresses, etc.
Above are this year's pictures of my friend who still makes fabulous costumes for herself and family and friends to wear in Venice at Carnevale. She collects some of her specialty fabrics on trips to Turkey. She takes suitcases packed with a variety of hoops, skirts, masks, and headgear so everyone can wear more than one costume. Her work is so gorgeous she is often photographed for posters and caledars.
