This site journals my costuming and sewing adventures over the years, some with progress photos. A few tutorials are included. Most of the items were sewn using purchased pattern, book, or instruction as a base with only a few items being completely drafted.

Some makes are highlighted below. For the older gallery of costumes and other sewn items click here.
