Threads, Trials, and Triumphs


""What's fashionable is what one wears one's self; what's unfashionable is what other people wear."

This is not goodbye.

I know that I haven't been around much lately, and I keep saying that I will be back as soon as my thesis is finished, but I think I'm going to have to modify that promise a bit. I'll definitely be back to sewing, but this blog is going to be moving. For about a year now, I've been paying for a blogdrive subscription just so that I could ban those pesky little students who were being jerks and leaving less than flattering comments on my blog. However, now that my subscription is about to expire, I've decided to take advantage of the blog program offered with my webhosting; it really doesn't make sense to pay here for something I'm already paying for over there.

Anyway, it will take me a little while before the other blog has a whole lot of content, so I'll go ahead and leave this one up for a short time. If you currently link to this blog or have bookmarks, you can change them over as soon as you like, since I'll only be posting to the new blog from now on.

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.
