Threads, Trials, and Triumphs

Let's picnic.

I can't believe it, but I'm actually going to make it to the Peacock Tails event this weekend. Of course, I don't actually have anything new to wear, but I'll be there, I guess that's the important part. Mom managed to put together an outfit for this one--her first Victorian. Well, it's still in progress, but it's looking like she will get it done on time. She even recruited grandpa to make a necklace for her. :) It's inspired me to try to get my parasol done, that way at least I'll have a new accessory if nothing else.

Ithilwyn
Welcome to the epic adventures of "Two-Day T." While I generally like to plan my costumes well in advance, I find myself often inspired to make a costume last minute. And I usually manage to pull it off, sometimes making elaborate costumes in just one weekend; hence, the nickname. My crowning achievement was making two complete jedi costumes, Padme's picnic dress, and a kinsale cloak in just two weeks for Episode II WHILE working full time!

Bio: I go by Ithilwyn on the web, so if you see me around, say hi. I've been sewing most of my life and have been costuming for the past five years. In my un-spare time I teach high school and attend graduate school.

Historical Periods: Can't really commit, but my current obsession is with the Victorian natural form period.
