About me
I have been working as a freelance costume maker since 1990. I have worked on many diverse projects including period costumes, for men and women, creature costumes, dance costumes and costumes for childrens shows. I therefore have cutting, making and finishing skills and a wide range of techniques for many types of costume.During the 1990's I worked both as a costume supervisor and wardrobe mistress. As a wardrobe mistress I gained valuable experience of the day to day running of a wardrobe department, including maintenance and repairs for all types of costume, managing and motivating a small team. I consider that I can work well in a team and effectively on my own initiative.
As a costume supervisor I have worked with designers to help realize the design and put together a complete set of costumes and accessories for a show. I believe that I have a good knowledge of costume, reasonable basic computer skills which are continually improving and good comunication skills.
I have continued costume making on a part-time freelance basis since my children were born and this has increased my time management and organisation skills.
