Comments
There is a wealth of information and inspiration provided. What this video set will not do is teach anyone how to sew. It moves fast in order to provide a good overview of costuming options. The two videos are aimed at being entertaining as well (it’s ok to laugh). Even husbands enjoy watching these videos.
BOOKLET
A companion booklet accompanies the video to help iron out technical items and provide additional information. An inserted revised supplier update is also included since these things tend to change. Included are: costume suppliers, trade publications, musicians, costume book resources, and costume designers.
