Bored Panda got in touch with Marina to get to know more about her and the costumes she's making. Looking at all these different characters and styles, we got curious about where the talented woman gets inspiration for the outfits. Marina told us that her outfit ideas arise on their own, from memories, according to the plots of books, films, and children's stories.
We bet that you, pandas, are curious how long it takes for Marina to create one complete outfit. So were we! It seems that the woman works at the speed of light because it takes around 15 minutes for her to create an image of a costume and she can sew a dress and a headdress in one day!
Marina shared with us that she is self-taught. However, she learned to sew hats in courses for retirees. The woman sews all her outfits with a needle (without a sewing machine) which is even more astonishing when you know that she can complete an outfit in one day!
Looking at all the costumes, we got curious about how many of them Marina has already made and where she fits all of them. The woman has sewed a lot of clothes so she doesn't remember the exact number. She keeps all of her outfits in boxes, gives some away, and makes new outfits out of some of them. She also added that all the closets in her house are full!
