In the spring of 2008, Houghton College Shakespeare Players performed
A Midsummer Night's Dream. As well as acting I designed and sewed the costume for one of the fairies: Cobsweb. This was my first serious endeavor at creating my own patterns; I worked with the costume from concept sketch to fitting. The bodice is sleeveless, fully lined, and laced on the sides. The skirt was sewn from squares of knitted fabric and tulle, with an elastic waistband. The black shawl/overlay was simply draped and tied over the costume.
