Luckily I had some Ren Faire outfit stuff to make. Which is outdoors. I made a few umbrella holders since it was going to be hot. Minor amount of sewing, but some sewing. I made three of them for oiled paper umbrellas. I just took what leather scraps I had to find pieces large enough […]
Pockets are good things. I put pockets in these pants I made for my son for the Renaissance Festival. Another self-drafted creation. He wanted something cooler than the pleather pants I made him before, which it wouldn’t take much since those hold in the heat. These are linen pants and a little wider than the […]

What he wanted for his costume: Leather jacket Spauldrons (shoulder armor) New pants A hood that was separate from the jacket Arm greaves Back carry belt for a sword Leather Jacket The main thing he wanted was a leather jacket with the arm spauldrons.

I am calling this a “sort of” cosplay, since I just didn’t have the energy to source all the matching materials and fabrics for this to be a full on cosplay. I still put plenty of time into it…don’t get me wrong. Here is the character: Maria from the Assassin’s Creed movie. She is an […]
In my editorial photoshoot I did for the Fabric Anthropology Fashion Week line, I made my headpiece. I was going full on gothic with this outfit, so a headpiece with feathers was a must. I WAS NOT trying to create a caricature of a tribal headpiece, which in my research I did not find one […]

(I think…she tends to get wordy and unfocused when she explains it all). This year she wanted to be an assassin in going to the Renaissance Festival and for Halloween. That works fine […]
I was invited to participate in the Twig and Tale Tour for upcycling, and of course, I said yes. Then I remembered I had tweens, and not cute little people that didn’t voice their opinion. I love their Wild Things add-ons. Talk about adorable! I so wish I could have done that with this tour, […]
This is a guest post I did for Crafting Con. Bringing it home for Halloween! ***** Hello! I am Stacy and I blog at Stylin’ Stacy. The costumes I tend to make these days are centered around cosplay characters. They serve dual purposes as my kids wear them to a convention in the spring and […]
Final pictures of the costumes at the local Renaissance Faire.
This costume has been an agony of time in getting it finished. I have not had the time I would have liked to devote to all of the details in making it. I feel bad that I didn’t get their swords done for the Geralt and Ciri costumes, but something’s gotta give, Man. Momma works […]
