Colleen Kahn
Are you ready to win the “Best Costume” award at your next Halloween party or Cosplay? This is your chance! Bring your idea and a comparable commercial pattern to class and sew-along with our instructor to create a stellar costume of your own design. Learn tricks for incorporating lighting (glow sticks or electric), body extensions, and carefully mimicking images. Bring pre-washed fabric to first class meeting along with measurements of the wearer. Participants should have good basic sewing skills, feel comfortable using their sewing machine, and expect to do some work on their project between class meetings.
Open to sewists ages 13yrs and up; for participants under the age of 18 years, please sign this waiver during registration. Please check out the Costume Course Handout for details about class activities each week and useful sewing resources.
