Figure skating is a wonderful sport. It's fast, it requires artistry, and it's athletic. From a sewer's perspective, it also features gorgeous costumes.
Everyone's familiar with figure skating, but are you familiar with synchronized skating? It's where teams of between 8 and 20 skaters perform routines in unison. Their skating creates shapes and formations that a single or pair simply cannot do.
My daughter is a figure skater, but her real passion is synchronized skating. I've shown costumes that I've made before, but this year I made costumes for three teams -- 35 costumes in all! They made their competition debut this past weekend at the Dr. Porter Synchronized Skating Classic in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Our Beginner 1 team getting their photo taken. They skated to music from The Little Mermaid. The boys are little Prince Eriks. Aren't they adorable?
The adult team really needs to take themselves less seriously! I adore this team. Their music was dramatic and their skating was fantastic!
My daughter's team, Open Juvenile. I had so much fun making their costumes.
Here's another view of the Open Juvenile costumes so that you can better see the dress details. I love the strip going down the arm. My daughter is the one in the middle.
