Help me go to Costume College

Hi! My name is Tiana Blanchard and I'm a costume enthusiast! I've been making costumes since 2011 now, and I spent as much time as I can researching and making costumes. I once spent 90+ hourse on just the embroidery of a blouse for a costume... In one month. And that was only half of the total embroidery!

When I was about 13 I decided that I wanted to make costumes, so I told my mom and she brought out her old sewing machine. She taught me the basics that she knew, and soon after that I was teaching myself and making my own patterns. Feel free to check out my blog to see some of my work, http://tianascostumes.blogspot.com/

I'm always looking for new things to learn and expand my costume knowlege.

There's an event held every year in L.A. called Costume College, where costumers from all over the country come to participate in classes to learn new techniques and to get to know others who share the same passion of creating costumes.

If you'd like to learn more about Costume College you can check out their website here, http://129.121.107.232/~costumer/college/

I've wanted to attend this event since I first heard about it several years ago, but due to the cost of flight and hotel I haven't been able to attend.

I have until June to raise the money it will all go towards air fair, hotel, and classes at Costume College.

Thank you for your support!
