      <image:title>About - About Valarie Sue…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hey, I’m Val (they/she) I’m an artist, sewist, and craftsperson residing in South Brooklyn. With over a decade of professional sewing and crafting experience under my belt, my career has been filled with jumping from industry to industry to learn all I can. The first several years of my career were spent in theatre, where I started in Wardrobe (with a hefty splash of Wig Styling). I steadily grew my skills in Costume Construction, Fabric Dyeing, Vintage Reconstruction, and Hand Finishing. Once I relocated to Brooklyn, I was able to work in some of the top costume shops, working as a Beader/Hand Finisher, Stitcher, First Hand, and Craftsperson. When the pandemic hit, I quickly pivoted to the luxury fashion and bridal industry. I worked as a luxury bridal Sample Maker, as well as head of Alterations and Bespoke Production. Now, comfortable in my home studio, I am able to create what speaks to me artistically and serve a community I adore.</image:caption>
