How I got started:
Sewing first came into my life when I was a little
girl, and one of the ears on my big red toy mouse lost its lining. My Dad
got one of my Mother's slips and cut out a circle, and stitched in a new
ear lining. "Amazing!", I thought. (I don't know what my Mom thought about
the slip incident though...) Throughout the years I watched my Dad and
Grandma sew on their old Singer machines, and I hand-sewed some little
pillows and things. When I got into high school, I had a sewing class,
and was hooked for life...
I sew an extreme variety of things, from furniture to
regular clothes to outrageous costumes. Here I'll focus on the most fun
stuff- Costumes!

Historical costuming has been a passion of mine for years. I enjoy recreating historically accurate garments and also creating new "historical-style" costumes. Here you can view some of the costumes I've made for myself and others and get some information on how to make your own. |
