Hello all!
My name is Rachel Young and I usually hang around Jerry Christiansen during the show and go to work-weekends during the summer. I think I’ve been a member since 2009 and have been coming to shows since 2008. I'm 16 years old and I like to sew in my free time. I've probably been sewing for about 10 years now... (my grandma taught me a very long time ago and has reinforced it many times ) I also work/volunteer in the costuming departments of various theaters. I usually make costumes for the show if I'm working at a stand or something that I won't get too dirty. Over the years, I’ve accumulated many costumes that I’ve made. My question is would there be any interest to have a walk-through of how to make some of these costumes? Sewing and Rollag has become a passion for me and I would like to share that. They would involve pictures and advice on patterns, types of fabrics, etc. It may also include pattern reviews, various things I take into consideration when making a costume, and historical accuracy (which I sometimes throw out the window with certain things, *cough* buttons... ). I've noticed that there are not many forums for this kind of interest.
If you know someone who would be interested, if you’re curious about what all goes into costumes, or you want to learn how to make these, let me know!
Have a great day!
Rachel
