Welcome to the new site!  Thank you for visiting!  The site is still under construction and will continue to look different as you come back to visit.  It was time to simplify as it needed a good spring cleaning and a little feng shui... 

I have been making costumes for myself, friends and fellow hobbyists since 2001 and have loved costumes since I was little.  I am fortunate to meet talented hobbyists along the way and I appreciate those who have been easy and fun to work with.  These great people have brought additional energy to me to continue in the hobby as my life permits.  Though I work full-time, I am currently a Graduate student working towards my MBA with a concentration in Human Resources and International Business.

Recently, I reorganized my sewing workroom and I noticed that it looked very sad.  It was dominated with black, brown and every shade in-between.  The people I contact for fabric always know I'm going to ask for some type of very sad brown: beige, taupe, chestnut, chocolate, coffee, isabelline, fallow, camel, khaki...ad nauseam, you get the picture!  I've decided that it's time to infuse some color and diversity into costuming, since that's what I believe costumes are about anyway.  For instance, the Adam West Batman show I would watch with my brother after school was all about color. If I was able to stay up late, after homework was completed, I would be fortunate enough to watch Star Trek - though I always knew the fate of the guy in the red shirt.  

So I think it's time to make the attempt to add some Technicolor to this alternative world we immerse ourselves in! 

Feel free to look around and contact me with any questions. Also, be sure to check out the page of "Current Offerings" for any costumes which are already constructed and immediately available.

Happy Costuming!
