I'm Rachel & I've been working as a professional costumer for theatre, film, TV, opera, ballet, performance art, drag shows, & private clients for almost 30 years. I created this channel as a video-format companion to my blog, La Bricoleuse, about theatrical millinery (hat making), maskmaking, fabric dyeing, textile surface design, & a whole lot more.

I'm based in Durham, NC, & I teach at UNC-Chapel Hill. I also work in the costume shop of PlayMakers Repertory Company. I'm happy to answer your questions here or on other social media. Welcome, friends and viewers!

The channel is on hiatus during the academic year and I update with new content at least once a month in summers. If you'd like to leave a tip, my PayPal is linked below and my Venmo ID is @Rachel-Pollock-3

Thank you so much for watching my content!
