The Perks Of Being A Book Lover Podcast
Education:Language Learning
We love finding people who do interesting bookish things that are a little out of the ordinary, and our guest this week is costume designer and author Jacqueline Firkins who combines her amazing dressmaking skills with her love of novels. She creates dresses based on book covers that you can see on her Instagram page or her website. Located in Vancouver, Jacqueline teaches at the University of British Columbia.
We also lucked out because we were also able to chat with Jacqueline about her new book which just hit book stores two weeks ago titled Marlowe Banks, Redesigned, a rom-com featuring a behind the scenes look at the costume designing world.
You can find Jacqueline Firkins and pictures of her amazing dresses on Instagram @jfkillsdarlings and at her website www.jacquelinefirkins.com.
