A very large squid, called Squiddy, for my nephew, a long time ago now, but it was a fun project.

The Woman In the Blue Dress

 Here's the painting by a really famous artist I can't remember right now.

Here's the dress that I designed for the play about the woman in the dress.  It was a one woman show that spoke about art and history.

Hello, my name is ....

Hi! Welcome to my blog!  My name is Gretchen and I've been sewing since I was a child at my mom's knee.  I translated my love of sewing into a love of costuming and now I both design and construct costumes and clothing, for myself and others! I'm located in Upstate NY and design for local theaters and clients.  I will be posting various projects that showcase my skills.  Let me know if you'd like to colaborate!
