REBECCA’S JOURNEY

From Costumes to Confections

In a parallel life, I am also a professional costume designer and wardrobe stylist with a 20-year career spanning television, theatre, advertising, and print. In fact, I chose the name “Baste Cut Fold” for this blog because it reflects my two worlds: costumes and confections!
