Learn and demonstrate the use of basic sewing tools and equipment. Be an active member in a team to design and construct a costume.

Class Fees: Fees paid for this course are used to purchase supplies, maintain equipment, and tools that will be shared with all students in order to achieve assignments, broaden experience, and keep individual student expenses down. Textbook: The Costume Technicians Handbook 3rd Edition by Rosemary Ingham and Liz Covey Supplies: The same supplies that you will be using for Costume Construction will be needed in this lab as well. Please label all of the following with your name. 1. Fabric and items for Construction Projects. (See Costume Construction Syllabus). Classroom Rules: 1. During class working is your number one focus. 2. Arrive on time with the supplies you need for the day.

3. Do not eat/drink any food on the cutting tables. Only water bottles are allowed in class. 4. If you dont know how to use tools or equipment, ASK FIRST! I am here to help. 5. Keep the classroom clean and organized. Put away all tools and materials in their appropriate location before you leave. Failure to do so will affect your grade. 6. Wear shoes and appropriate clothing at all times. This is a safety issue. 7. No profanity, vulgarity, or inappropriate topics. 8. Do not arrive under the influence of any illegal drugs, narcotic painkillers, or alcohol. 9. Music is allowed in class but everyone has veto power and the volume must remain at a decent level. (also refer to rule 7) 10. Be positive, no self-deprecating comments. Attendance Policy: Regular attendance is required to get a good grade in this class. This class is here to supplement Costume Construction so that you have the time to get projects done and add to the skills you have learned. You will be allowed one free absence. (This doesnt mean that you get points for homework though). For excused absences you have to notify me in writing and have a note from the school, Dr., etc. at least a week in advance. Also, each unexcused absence your grade will drop a step and again for every absence. You must attend your scheduled lab time unless previous arrangements have been made with instructor and approved at least one week in advance. You will be expected to be working at all times on the scheduled assignment for that week. Some assignments are due in this class on the day we work on them and others are due in the Costume Construction class. Pay close attention to the due dates. If additional time is needed to complete assignments, there will be a sign up sheet in the costume shop to work on things during specific hours/days. Makeup or Late Assignments: There will be no makeup or late assignments taken. If you miss a day of class with an unexcused absence (including your free one) you forfeit the participation points and the points for the assignment we did in class that day. If you have an excused absence (must be cleared with me at least a week in advance) you can do the assignment in advance and turn it in before the class day it is due. Although, the Wardrobe Project, Pulling and Restocking, and Personal Dye Project cannot be done unless you are in class. Grading Policy: On assignments you will be graded on neatness/effort, and if you completed the requirements of the project. On attendance you will be graded on tardiness, preparation for class, work/focus during class hours, and cleaning up after yourself. LAB ACTIVITIES Paper Costumes 10 pts. Draping Project 10 pts.
