About me
I am an aspiring costume maker, who graduated from the Arts University in Bournemouth, with BA (Hons) Costume with Performance Design.Specialising in costume construction, I have an interest in intricate stitching techniques and have patience for repetitive tasks. This patience benefits my ability to handle delicate and challenging fabrics, and also aids my determination to learn new skills.
Since university, I have worked for J.D. Wetherspoons in order to fund my move to London (which also allowed me to transfer and move with a job). I then went on to find a local job as Sales Assistant at The Sewing and Craft Superstore owned by Wimbledon Sewing Machines Co. which enables me to live in a convenient location, and take on extra projects within my free time, whilst keeping inspired within a creative environment. I aspire to work within television, film or theatre, and would enjoy nothing more than to be part of a professional workroom environment.
Hobbies include:
>Taking additional classes in embroidery, which have included so far:
-Stump-work
-Lace Appliqué
-Broderie Anglaise
-Limerick Lace
-Black-work
>Needle felting
>Ceroc (dancing)
