Costuming & Dressmaking
Upon receiving my BFA degree in Theatre at the University of Illinois, I was hired in as a costumer for the University of Washington Drama Department. I had seven wonderful years patterning, sewing, and training running crews for U of W plays and operas. I quit to start a family and needless to say they had the best Halloween costumes ever. Since then I have been hired to design and make clothes for the Solstice Parade, Brazilian and Aztec Dance, Cosplay, etc.
