Bye Bye Birdie, Fangirl outfits.

All told, Costume Crew made 15 fanclub outfits in all.  That's 15 jackets, 15 Conrad Birdie Fan Club appliques on each jacket, 15 skirts and 15 guitars and 60 notes for each skirt.  This was definitely a group effort!  We were all sick of them by the time opening night came around but...
 
 
...as you can see they looked pretty great on stage!

I know it has been a couple of years since you posted this, but I would love to learn more a about the CB fan club sweaters. Do you have any photos that are closeup of the applique? What materials did you use for them? Thank you! CJ

I'm really sorry I didn't read this sooner so I hope that you scrolled down a bit to find the picture here https://periwinkle-paisley.blogspot.com/2014/02/local-paper-article.html

I used felt and black cotton that I made into an applique. I printed out the text backwards and traced it onto Wonder Under ironed onto black cotton. I painstakingly cut out the letters, peeled off the backing and then ironed them onto the blue felt. T then sewed the entire applique onto the jacket.
