Of the many enjoyable experiences when making costumes, working with children perhaps is the greatest of all.
   I preformed children costume many times for carnivals and fists. I did them for the end of the school parties, and for children actors in the movies. On the time of the carnival, I was in charge of the costume storeroom and was dressing up about 100 young boys and girls of 6 to12. I met each individually with his unique fantasy and dream of what they would like to be. So I tried to make their dream come true, creating or fitting comfortable and beautiful costumes for all of them.
   When a child did not know what he wanted I used to sit with him for a while, discuss it with him and offer something he might fancy. I was showing items I had already in the storeroom and thus, step by step, a new personalized design came into being. It is certainly a true satisfaction to see him or her later on in the carnival, rejoicing happily and feeling content.
   There were cases, when a child changed his mind at the last minute and that sharpened my alertness and enhanced my capacity to quickly improvise to also broaden my skills.
    On the first year I was doing child costumes I accompanied Zehava , a talented woman guide. She was a brilliant seamstress and pattern maker, from whom I learned much about how to build a pattern for a child.
   Trough this work with children that are actually miniature copies of us, the grown up, I could understand how drastically an outfit may change moods.
    From then until today, the contact with the client and the maximum attention to that which runs in her head is basic in my work.
