Working in the Costume Shop

During my time in the costume shop I worked on a wide variety of pieces and learned a lot of new techniques. Here are just a few things I worked on in the costume shop this semester:

Bok Choy, made for the Chinese New Year's Play

Petticoat in Process

Orange!

Finished Doublet

Back of the Doublet

Wrapping Up The Semester

This has been by far the craziest semester for me so far at Purdue. I have done a lot this semester besides classes. I've worked football and basketball games, worked 10+ hours each week in the costume shop, gone to numerous workshops and meetings, and somehow managed to find time to spend with my friends doing silly things like having a Fast & Furious marathon.

As this semester comes to an end I am starting to get more prepared for my semester abroad in London. I will be leaving January 3rd and flying back for the fashion show at Purdue in April.

I've written a little before, but I will be finalizing my schedule and classes when I get to LCF for the orientation. I am pretty excited for what this coming spring semester!! 

Besides preparing for finals week and for leaving for London, I am thinking ahead for the summer and for jobs. Since I am receiving my apparel design internship credits by working at the costume shop at Purdue this semester and next fall, I can do whatever over the summer. I am hoping to do something completely different from working with costumes, but I would also enjoy continuing working on costumes. 

Stay tuned for more updates, I'm hoping to post a lot over break & also in London!
