Costume-Making and Theatrical Makeup Workshops Do you want to learn to make costumes, but don't have a sewing machine? Don't worry; Julianna's Wardrobe provides the sewing machine, cutting/fitting supplies and notions. All you need is your fabric, thread and enthusiasm for each workshop. All workshops are located in the Denver/Boulder areas. There is a nominal fee to relocate a workshop to other areas.
