Welcome to my costuming blog! Maybe someday I can make a career out of this sort of thing, but for now I am simply a hobbyist doing research and re-creating garments based on medieval sources - archaeological finds, wardrobe accounts, paintings, sketches, and sculptures. My goal is to have fun, learn some new things along the way, and share my experience.

The boring part
Putting together the skirt portion of my brown-and-green kirtle involves sewing a little under 9 1/2 yards of flat felled seams before I can even begin to think about tackling the double box pleats or sewing the front seam closed. As of right now, I have a tad over 7 yards left to sew.
