Basically, I'm creating this page to document my journey of creating an as-authentic-as-modernly-possible Tudor costume to wear at the 2012 Renaissance Festival in Holly, Michigan. I'll try to include as many pictures and updates as possible throughout the process. Here are a few things about me you might be interested in:
* I'm a 24-year old University of Michigan student.
* Sewing has always been a part of my life. My mom made me the only stuffed animal I still have, a rabbit named Sara. I didn't seriously start sewing on the machine or doing anything other than little projects until about a year and a half ago, which is when I really fell in love with it.
* I've never been to a Renaissance Faire, let alone made a gown....eek!
* In the short time I've been really sewing, I've improved A LOT, so if you're apprehensive about starting, don't be overwhelmed; it IS possible to come a long way in a short time span =) You just have to have a lot of patience, and don't be afraid to make mistakes! Every time I mess something up or take a while to get the hang of something, I learn a ton from the experience.
I'll be working on other projects too as I go along, and post about those too probably, as well as the RenFest dealio =) I love comments and would like feedback if you are willing to offer it! This is gonna be fun!
Yay!! How exciting! :) ~Karah
