Making a Handmaid’s Tale Costume (a conversation about culture and current events) | Halloween 2020

For this spooky season I decided to make a costume from my favourite TV show (and also my worst nightmare), The Handmaid’s Tale. Come along for this journey to see how the costume came together, piece by piece, whilst listening to me rambling about Halloween costumes, culture and other current events. Blessed be the fruit, and may the lord open.
