tech theatre had nothing to do with costumes
The technology is very different, but for design everyone needs to be part of the same program.
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I knew brawny set builders who were afraid of a sewing machine.

I did get a needle thru the tip of my finger while sewing once.

Yes, I still think I harbor a little resentment that I had to learn to use all the tools, and pass tests on what type of screw to use when, and there was not a unit on costumes, so no one had to learn "my stuff". It has been very valuable for design and just working with other people
ETA: So my lobby is to add costumes to tech theatre, not make us separate.

That's what they were afraid of!
I, however, held the record for finding the most ways to hurt myself with hand tools.

I did cut the tip of my finger so that it was hanging by a small strip of skin when "sewing while tired".
And man, my tech theatre class was hard-- probably my most challenging class at college, especially since everyone else had an area where they had already worked in, and I didn't. We were a very small school and I was the only costume student in my entire four years there.

Wow.
I took a costume class while getting my scene design degree, and built a corset from scratch! I was prouder of that than any of the sets I designed.

I had to do a set design class as an acting major and I loved it. And I did really well in it. I had those scale models until we had a house fire, I'd have them still. It deffinately gave me set love and appreciation that lasts to this day.

I took a really weird program, because I did costumes, stage managing, and directing, but not really acting or tech-- meaning set, lights, sound. But I took all the acting classes because I wanted to learn about directing. But since there was no directing or stage managing track, I took all the tech theatre classes as part of my "costume" program, and never took the stage managing class. Then I took the costume classes separately, because they didn't count for anything required. And then I took the directing class twice.
