While I do really like to talk about my internship (and there's plenty more to report coming), there will also be a fair share of posts on costuming - historical and theatrical! That being said, I am a firm believer in the "if I write it down, it will [eventually] happen" method.
So, here is what's on the books for the rest of summer in sewing projects:
