I've been working on a custom raglan sleeve pattern to build something special with. It's amazing how complex the process is! I'm on my third draft.

After I get this exactly right, I'm going to create a sleeve with smocking and some sculpted fullness for a Renaissance overdress (my design below).

I have a feeling everything that comes after this raglan block will feel easy peasy!

I made this dress from several men's shirts in 2020. My favorite parts are the collar bands I added to the sleeves and the staggered panels of the skirt. I'm feeling inspired to do more experiments this summer.

This photo was taken from the last row, sorry! Costumes from YSU's production of Kiss Me Kate! What a great collection of designs by Katherine Garlick. I had so much fun making pieces for this musical!

Here's another lovely Italian Renaissance costume designed by Katherine Garlick at Youngstown State University, and constructed by me. I finished it just in time for the first dress rehearsal of "Kiss Me Kate" tonight.

I love the dropped shoulders and giant upper sleeves. The fabric borders were also a lot of fun. The lower fitted sleeves were made with a fabric I really wasn't sure about, but I love it -- so unique.

There are only so many perfect hexagons I can make. Taking a walk on the wild side for a minute.

Every year I say I am never making a motif based project ever again. But here I am. For me, yarn colors are like paint. Maybe I will make these into a beret or something small.

Next Italian Renaissance costume for this week. More really cool sleeves and a curved dropped shoulder, both new techniques for me. I think I could make costumes like this forever...

This costume is finally finished! This was so much fun!
