Have you ever wondered how to design dance costumes for yourself? Have you ever looked at a dancewear website and said, “That’s so expensive! I bet I could sew that!” but then couldn’t find the pattern you wanted? I’m going to share my design process with you and show you how to make dancewear that you will love to wear!
In this series, I’m going to share with you how I find inspiration for my dance costumes, the fabrics I like to use, the patterns and methods I use when creating costumes, and different ways to embellish your costumes to make them really stand out on stage. I’ll also share where I source the materials and embellishments I use. You’ll always find all these tutorials on the Tutorials Page, and resources I like on the Recommended Resources Page.
