Acting as the lead maker on the team, we initially assisted with sourcing, particularly the urban camouflage used by the soldiers, and fabric for the Weird Sisters and Coronation Robes.

Once fabric arrived, we switched wholly over to making, creating patterns for all three dresses for the Weird Sisters and Coronation Robes for Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. We took the lead on constructing the Weird Sister dresses, making all three with minimal help, whilst assisting the construction of additional items such as armbands, ghost trousers for MacDuff, and a banquet tablecloth.

Once the dresses were complete and had been handed off to the breakdown team, we switched to constructing two matching coronation robes made from red velour and faux fur.

This project involved creating multiple patterns for performers, working on both industrial sewing machines and overlockers, using stretch fabric in conjunction with non-stretch fabric, and working to deadlines.
