Costume Construction
 

-My Builds-
 

The University of Georgia's costume shop makes all costume components for the theatre department's shows. Graduate students create costume designs and construct the larger costume builds while applied drama students and student assistants support grad students based on skill level and work available. Most costume pieces are worked on by every person in the shop. As a student assistant, I've had the opportunity to build a couple pieces by myself with limited assistance.

-Stitching-
 

In the costume shop, I take on many roles as an additional laborer. Most of my experience consists of machine and hand sewing. Below is a gallery of photos displaying the stitching I have completed on costume pieces and class projects.
