Stitcher Experience
Guys and Dolls - Various Characters - Alterations
Designer: Jen Gillette
Draper: Sarah Green
First Hand: McKenzie Vaughan
For the tie-dye top, I hemmed it and added the bow to it. For the two dresses in the top middle, I added the flounces, hemmed added panels in the back. For the robe, I added the marrow.
I quick-rigged the button-up shirt, vest, and blazer together with the use of magnets and snaps. I also sewed sequined fabric onto the collar of the Nathan Detroit. I did all the alterations for the bridesmaids and wedding dresses in Guys and Dolls, which entailed taking the dresses apart to take in the bodices, raising the waistline, and resetting the zippers.

Sound of Music - Von Trapp Children - Alterations
Designer: Bill Brewer
Draper: Sarah Green
First Hand: McKenzie Vaughan
The children's outfits for the Sound of Music were rented, and they were all too small. The dress skirt had to be reset higher to make the waist larger on the curtain dress for Maria and a new waistband was cut. The bow was added, and the zipper in the back was reset. The lederhosen both had to have the waistbands removed to let out the pants and had their zippers reset. The sailor skirts and festival dresses also had to be let out. Some of the pleats needed to be replete, and on the older girls has panels were added to the sides of the dresses.

Gondoliers - Marco and Giuseppe Palmier
Designer: Brooke Kelser
Draper: Sarah Green
First Hand: Mckenzie Vaughan
I flatlined and sewed the fashion and lining of the coat together, as well as worked on the finishing details. This coat had to be sewn together quite quickly due to the tight turnaround of the shows, the coat was sewn in about 3 days.
