Welcome!
I’m Beverly! I am a maker, author and educator, crafting high-quality costumes based on pop culture characters as well as elaborate original designs.
When I’m not crafting a new costume or tutorial in my workshop in Portland, Oregon, I travel to conventions across the country to host workshops and lectures designed to help makers of all experience levels refine and learn new skills. Contact me for inquiries!
