Threads, Trials, and Triumphs

Down with the galleries.

Sorry to those of you who were still enjoying some of my older gallery pictures. Unfortunately, they were putting me way over my bandwidth. Hope everyone got to see them who wanted to. I didn't realize this site got that much traffic--shows how well I pay attention--so I'll probably have to downsize the pictures and keep fewer events up at a time. I know that kind of sucks, but I really don't want to have to pay for more space; I'm sure you'll understand and hope you will continue to check back and enjoy the pictures for as long as I can keep them up.

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.
