In this approachable and inspiring guide, The Beginner’s Guide to Sewing for Costuming delivers the perfect starting point for aspiring costumers, cosplayers, and theatre fans—no experience needed. Whether you dream of building characters from scratch or bringing beloved roles to life, this book shows you how.
Michelle Elliot Winchester began her sewing journey at age nine and stitched her first costume by fifth grade. A love for theatre quickly followed, and after being assigned to the costume shop in high school, she discovered a lifelong passion that would shape her career.
Over the years, she has designed and constructed costumes for high school productions, community theatre, university stages, and summer stock performances. While earning her undergraduate degree, she managed her university’s costume shop — learning and leading alongside a team of equally passionate peers.
For over 20 years, she has inspired the next generation of theatre artists, teaching university-level courses in Costume Design, Costume Construction, Stage Makeup, Fashion History, Stage Management, and more.
