Title A name given to the resource Stepping Stones Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dixon, Chris Abstract A summary of the resource. The pursuit of knowledge is the highest ideal. Living out this ideal, I, Chris Dixon, am pursuing a degree in costume design. This past fall, I took the Theatrical Pattern Making course. My final project was to construct a half-scale, capsule wardrobe drafting the patterns from scratch. My grandmother was the epitome of the pursuit of knowledge. During her lifetime she studied to become a seamstress, mastered how to run a laundromat, and she did all of that while learning how to cook and take care of her family. I chose to base my project o her era, the 1950s. To accomplish that I designed my wardrobe on a 50s silhouette and used references to ensure accuracy. I also chose to use cotton broadcloth for pieces that needed structure, and peach skin for pieces that needed to drape. With this project I want to encourage viewers to harness the energy of my grandmother and the many others like her in the 50s. Learn more skills, when possible, it could lead to the discovery of a new passion as it did for me. Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2025
