Volunteer Stories – Teresa Simson

Historical Costume Volunteer

2I have been volunteering at the park since 31^st July 2024

“My sewing friend knew of the walled garden project and after approaching staff to see if you would like any costumes, it was agreed we should volunteer.

“I love looking into the history of what we make and producing items of costume to be enjoyed by those who wear them.

“I worked for 13 years as a technical project manager for Dr Martens footwear, UK & Asia, trained as a pattern cutter in footwear.

“Love creating things.”
