Are you brand new to sewing or just want to improve your skills? Have you ever wanted to work in costumes, but didn’t think you have what it takes? If so, then this class is most definitely for you!
During this course, we will learn how to operate a sewing machine and serger, read and follow basic patterns, learn various stitching techniques, explore the fundamentals of costuming at CYT, and so much more! We will work through 4–5 project-based exercises focusing on accuracy and mastery in a fun and supportive environment.
*Note: Students are required to bring their own sewing machine, supplies and notions, and fabric for various projects. Supply list will be provided upon registration and throughout the course.
Holly began serving in the CYT costume department in 2021 when her youngest daughter made her theater debut in the live-streamed production Anne of Green Gables. She went on to serve as Costume Chair for eight shows, proudly learning from and working with the most delightful, talented, and exceptional costumers in Fredericksburg. In 2024, she was blessed and honored to serve on the CYT Artistic Team as Costumer for the musical production of Anastasia.
She grew up in Tidewater, Virginia and received her Associate of Applied Science in Graphic Design and Business Arts from Tidewater Community College, as well as her Bachelor of Science in Education from Liberty University. Holly and her husband made Fredericksburg their home in 2009 after being stationed in Germany for four years. They have been married 20 years and have raised two daughters who are lovingly obsessed with CYT and all-things-theater. Holly and her family are very thankful to have this organization in their local community.
