You have a new historical costume idea. But how do you approach making it? What does the process look like in putting it together? In this episode Jennifer breaks down the development of creating an ensemble through her own action steps with tips you can apply to your projects.
We'll also chat about places where inspiration can come from using items and places to push our designs forward to completion.
Everyone who sews and builds historical ensembles has their unique way of going through the steps to completion. In future episodes with guest interviews we'll get a chance to hear how others in our community approach their costuming and achieve the desired result.
