A little about Thalia:
Thalia has been sewing professionally since about 2010, but very unprofessionally for many years before that. She got a BFA in Fashion Design with a concentration in Costume Design from American Intercontinental University in 2009, which led her to design small stage shows for Aurora Theatre. After deciding against that career path she began working for an ice skating costume designer, sewing miles and miles of lycra and mesh! After he downsized in 2022 she began working in film where she honed her alterations skills and expanded her garment building knowledge, from sketch to final showstopper. She currently has a toe in film, commercials, contract sewing, leather sewing, and last but certainly not least, teaching!
