I am happy to let you all know about a new event for everyone who loves to make costumes of all kinds. It is called the Midwest Costume Academy - a costume class at the Gateway Center in Collinsville, Illinois. which is just outside St. Louis and it will take place on Saturday March 1, 2014.
Jeremy Johnson is the instigator along with Sheila Lenkman, who is primarily known for her work at Archon, the Midwest’s biggest and oldest regional Sci-Fi and Fantasy convention. She also is a very experienced theatrical costumer working at The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis since 1995. Jeremy is very active in Anime costuming. Here is an interview with Jeremy I found on Youtube.

Jeremy wants to get something started in the Midwest similar to Costume College in Los Angeles. I know many of you know about Costume College and have attended, but for those who don't, you must read the review at HistoricalSewing.com by Jennifer Rosbrugh. Costume College is weekend event actually 3+ days as Jennifer puts it. This new event is only one day of classes and I'm not sure what else at this point.
Why am I bring this up?? Well, I am one of the speakers!! I am offering 5 different sessions.
It is very exciting to be part of a new event like this.
