I am a hobby costumer, wife, and mother as well as a sometime dancer and small-press publishing dabbler.
I started this blog, GreenLinenShirt, in 2008 first as a training exercise for my day job, then as a repository for my pre-existing costuming habit.
My projects travel to the not-quite-so-local renaissance faires, comic book conventions, and local-ish belly dance events. On occasion, I emerge from our cozy cave to speak about costuming, providing resources for beginners and emphasizing the fun to be had in learning new skills.
While I cannot accept commissions at this time, I am happy to chat about all things costume through the Contact page.

I am totally intimidated to start real costuming. I barely know how to sew, but I like it. I lean not towards Elizabethan/Rennaisance stuff, but more toward making crap for my sewing-impaird burlesque dancer friend. Basically I want to make slutty Moulin Rouge clothes. With feathers. And maybe some beading/sequins.
Now if I can only get my own craft room and serger… Nice set up lady!
