Want to Attend the Costume College 2009?
by manny
If you love costuming, you might want to consider attending the Costume College 2009 in July. It’s not too late to sign up, and the schedule looks fantasic!
So what exactly is Costume College? It’s an intensive 3-day educational conference about all things related to costumes and fashion, sponsored by The Costumer’s Guild West. Sounds awesome!
This year’s event runs from Friday, July 31, 2009 through Sunday, August 2, 2009 at the Airtel Plaza Hotel in Van Nuys, California.
Visit their website for pricing and a registration application. Hurry, because classes are filling up and time is running out.
It’s hard to believe that this list below is just a small sample of available classes! How can they possibly teach all of this in just three days?
Pretty impressive, eh? And remember, this is only a partial list of classes. Sounds like a very costume intensive good time!
The Costumer’s Guild West was formed in 1987 by a group of sci-fi costume lovers, and over the years have grown into a leading organization dedicated to costuming and needlework in all forms.
The teachers come from all across the country and are required to have a minimum of 15 years experience in a costuming field.
This is the real deal, folks. If reading this post made you drool and swoon, it sounds like you need to hurry up and register before the classes are full.

Hi, I attended Costume College in 2004 and was I blown away. Unfortunately I crushed the write wrist and am just now able to return to sewing. I am a sewing teacher speciallizing in the different sewing machines and sergers. During theropy I was able to finish writing my book, Sewing doesn’t have to be a mystery and now I am published. I realise that many of your participants are experts at the sewing machines but many only use a small portion of their sewing and serging machines. Therefore, I would like to offer my teaching skills in a workshop format during Costume College in July 2010. E-mail: heldbyathread2002@yahoo.com, phone 760-722-9488, snail-mail 140 Steven Ln Sp 140 Oceanside,CA 92058. Looking forward to being a part of the Costume College 2010. Thanks, Stephnie Clark, author of Sewing doesn’t have to be a mystery.
