Explore the vast world of sewing and costuming in this six-week afterschool program where students will leave with their own hand-made costume just days before Halloween! Local Garment Goddess, Chelsey Rich, will show students a mix of hand-sewing, machine-sewing, embroidery, patchwork, and more to show our trick-or-treaters not only how to look spooky for the night, but gain sewing skills for year-round costuming fun.
My name is Chelsey Grace & I am the free spirit create-tress behind Garment Goddess. Nestled in the Green Mountains of Vermont, reviving vintage garments and textiles, one stitch at a time. It started in the summer of 2020 hand sewing vintage fabric onto all sorts of denim, with a focus on vintage jeans. After that summer Garment Goddess evolved into creating garments instead of simply just repairing and reviving them. From corsets, dresses and coats, to one of a kind patchwork & embroidery - I’ve been creating unique, intentionally made garments that I hope you’ll cherish for a lifetime & beyond. When I'm not sewing, you can find me out in the woods, down by the river, curled up with a good book, listening to music, gardening or painting till the sun sets. I love flora, fauna and fungi, and I love, love - making people smile, cooking a good meal, spending time with my family & friends. Of course, I love Vermont and all the beauty it has to offer, especially the sweetness of Summer.
