Welcome

I am a recently trained costume maker. Having always worked and studied in creative fields, I’ve had a lifelong passion for making my own clothes and accessories. It was this passion that motivated me to volunteer at Sheffield Theatres over a two-month period, and more recently to complete an intensive course in costume making at the Northern College of Costume in York. The course is purely practical, enabling students to develop costume making skills and techniques to industry standards.

In brief, the course included:

• Research of costume styles and details
• Design development of ideas
• Costume making techniques
• 1810-1830 gents eveningwear
• 1870-1890 bustle gown
• 1940 ladies eveningwear
• Tutu making workshop
