Seattle's Beyond Reality Costumer's Guild presents their single
track Con -- Beyond Con. Taking place Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Feb 12-14 at the lovely Inn at Gig Harbor, this con focuses on certain aspects of the costumer's interest. Whether you like historical, Sci-fi, Steampunk,or fantasy costuming, there is something for everyone. This year we will be presenting a set of panels designed to help the costumer "groom" their presentation. From hair-styles to self photography; from ideas on lighting and presentation, to what judges look for -- we hope to have a fun and learning weekend. Friday night we will kick off with a swap meet of costume related items - in the Con suite. Saturday will present our serious panels. Saturday night we will probably see each other in the dinning room, stoking up our engines for the tropical fun of our Luau party in the evening. Sunday we will wrap up with the final presentation panels and cap it all with our traditional "thrift store crawl." Weekend memberships are $30 for members $35 for non-members. For more information: www.brcg.org (click on 'Events' - Beyondcon) or contact Marie, FittingRm "at" aol.com. |

For basic sewing classes, you might do well
to check with your local fabric store (such as JoAnn Fabrics,
Hancocks, Pacific Fabrics, etc.) or even your local sewing machine
sales store to inquire about beginner classes. Most fabric
stores and sewing machine stores and some community colleges offer
sewing classes. For example,
Seattle Central Community College the
Renton Technical College and
New York Fashion Academy (all here
in Washington State) are alternatives to consider. Through
these fine establishments, you may find very good instruction on very simple and basic techniques that
will translate well into costuming abilities. Somewhere in Time, Unlimited is not recommending any of the stores or colleges, merely suggesting locations where you might be able to find classes that you need. |
