HI all, I usually don't post but I figured now is a good time. I built masks from march through the first weeks of May. My costume shop supervisor built masks as well as teaching the students how to sew them by hand. (When the students don't have a sewing machine, you improvise. We taught a basic class and an advanced class last semester. The basic class made around 14 students made 10 each either by hand or with their own sewing machines. The advanced class made upwards of 30 to 40 each to give to family, friends and hospitals near them. I think we made well over 500+ masks and I am going back to make some more before we start the new semester. The beginners learned how to embroider, smocking simple appliques.
the advanced classes, did smocking, embroidering, stenciling, appliques, ribbon trim (1810's), and either knitting or crocheting. I am very proud of the student from both classes. they were challenged and rose to the occasion. Now? getting classes ready to teach in three different modalities and recovering from a broken ankle( right foot, can't drive). Thank the lucky stars my husband loves to cook and is very patient with me. (I'm not the easiest patient), I can't go up and down the stairs easily, so the sewing machine and my projects are sitting there. -- Kitty Macey Professor of Theatre/ Costume Design Advisement coordinator Theatre Department Alpha Psi Omega Advisor SUNY at Oswego 315-312-3181 [email protected] _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] https://indra.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
