Have a go at Costume Designing.

Obviously, making a full costume from scratch requires a lot of dress-making (sewing) skills. However, many theatrical costumes are made by adjusting existing garments to suit a particular character, and by adding various accessories and hats. 

Can you create a costume for a character from a play, musical or pantomime just using items in your wardrobe?

You can also create the designs for costumes by drawing them onto a body outline. 

• You can copy and paste the body outline images provided below onto a Google or Word doc and then print out.

• Add on your chosen garments, colour in your designs and label them. 

• You can also add swatches of fabrics to show what they would be made out of.
