Hi Everybody,

I just registered again because I couldn't register with my old username "carraik".
I have been a member of the forum since 2004 or maybe earlier….can't remember.
I am a costume designer and when I joined I was just a budding "amateur"
In 2004 I started working in the wardrobe department of the Arena di Verona ( the verona opera house) I remember writing on the old forum about my first interview. Then the bug really hit me and in 2008 I went to London to study costume design and worked there for a bit but now I currently live and work in Verona Italy. I love this forum and have been so encouraged by everyone over the years.

Are there any "other old timers" here?

Welcome to the new forum! I don't think everyone has made it over here; but many have and we're already having some great discussions!

Welcome back, Gwen! Yes, there are quite a few "old-timers" here, and it seems like the women who were the most active on the last forum have been active here, too! I'm not sure what qualifies someone as an official old-timer, but I joined the forum in 2008. : )

I look forward to seeing some of your costuming projects! It sounds like you love what you do.

Happy sewing!

Hi Gwen!

So good to see you here. I'm still here, I just get very busy from time to time, so I go in spurts on posting.

Are you working on any sewing projects that you can share? Would love to hear about them.

Welcome back, Gwen! I remember when you first got the interview for the opera house back in the day, and it's fantastic to see so many people who have continued on in the hobby!
