Von Trapp Family Costume

I am a die hard on Sound of Music fan and have wanted to do the von Trapp family for years. With the birth of our 5th daughter I knew as soon as she could walk we would do it! I sewed each of our 7 kids costumes this year. I am no seamstress (I've only made aprons!) and I made all of their costumes using youtube videos and online tutorials. We have 5 girls and 2 boys just like the von Trapps and many a Sunday afternoon my kids are watching this movie. Tonight my Husband used his old dress blues from the Army to be captain von Trapp and I was Maria. I searched for weeks for fabric that would match the von Trapp's "play clothes" and wouldn't you know the best fabric I could find was upholstery fabric. So sure enough I sewed all those clothes out of material that should/could have been used for curtains just like the movie.
