Creativity and Craft: LeVonne Lindsay's Journey in Theater Costume

This week on Stitch Please, Lisa chats with costume designer LeVonne Lindsay, who turned a post breakup hobby into a career dressing drama literally. From sewing Barbie outfits to running a college costume shop, LeVonne shares what it really takes to make magic backstage. It’s a fun, insightful dive into the world of stitches, stage lights, and saying no to shortcuts (until you’ve earned them). ==== ======= Dr. Lisa Woolfork is an associate professor of English specializing in African American literature and culture.
