Stage & Screen
Great performances are supported by amazing costumes…
Prep* done for Buttons & Tinkerbell. Let the construction commence!
*prep includes cutting the backing fabric, marking those pieces, cutting out the main fabric, flat tacking the backing & main fabric together & marking anything that needs marking.

From the sublime (🤔) to the ridiculous! Photo 1 is the backing fabric of 3 costumes, cut, marked up & ready to go.
Photo 2 is the chaos it produces.

My mother & daughter students finished their gorgeous reversible bags last week. To make these they learned:
What all the markings on a pattern mean
Warp & weft of fabric - why it`s important
Cutting out fabric
Sewing darts
Sewing curved seams
Bagging out (aka magic)
That you need to press everything
Top stitching
I am so impressed with their work. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

A mother & daughter are currently taking my `complete beginners` set of 5 classes. After being introduced to their sewing machine & how it works, they have completed their first mission of a patchwork cushion cover.
I think these look amazing. Well done!

A truly memorable theatrical experience needs to be believable, so why trust anything other than my track record of creativity and reliability displayed across some of the finest stages in the country. My credits include: Glyndebourne Festival Opera, Royal Shakespeare Company, Salisbury Playhouse, Pitlochery Festival Theatre, Cunard’s QM2 and many more.
Working as a freelance costumier from my North London workshop, I am happy to create individual costumes, take on time sensitive jobs or manage your entire wardrobe. I am flexible and reliable and can travel all around the London area for meetings and fittings.
I have many years’ experience and expertise in both period and modern costume cut and construction. The diverse range of skills and experience that I bring to any project include:
- Initial design consultation (if required)
- Cutting material
- Making costumes
- Altering and adapting
- Fitting costumes, maintenance and dressing
- Hand embroidery and appliqué
- Tambour beading
- Bobbin and needle lace making
