This young lady is a member of the Costume College (http://www.costumecollege.org/), and she is a miracle in her own right. She creates all manner of historical costumes; but what makes them even more exceptional (because they are always stunning), is that she hand sews most of it! Even the corsets! She also makes the petticoats, hoop skirts, everything. Look at her Regency riding habit, it's gorgeous. She often finds antique period pieces and then reproduces them. I recommend browsing all her pictures. You can look at all her costumes by going to her main page: www.koshka-the-cat.com/but you can look at her regency stuff here: www.koshka-the-cat.com/regency.htmlDo you keep a site like hers? Do yo blog about costume making? Do you put pictures of your costumes up on the web? If you do, please share them here for other members to find. We're always raring to see the work of others.

Tell me about it. The girl has some serious talent. I wish I were that tiny too... so I could look like that in a dress. She's adorable

I wonder where she gets the time to do this? I would love to have more time to sew!

I wonder where she gets the time to do this? I would love to have more time to sew! She is a teacher so her days aren't exceedingly long. She has summers off mostly and I don't think she is married or has kids so this is what she does. She's fabulous.

Her site was the one that got my creative juices flowing LOL Her projects are what inspired me to try to make my own regency stuff. She's very talented

I watch her journal on LJ where she posts pretty frequently about her projects. I swear up and down she's not human - the rate at which she whips stuff up (and she mostly sews by hand), the quality, and the insane details they usually have. She's one of my costuming idols (lord that sounds creepy...) One day I hope to be even half as good as she is.
