A. Sawyer Costumes/Casa Mos-A - Anna Sawyer I specialize in creating and building unique designs, both historic, and from a galaxy far, far away Both are available, one takes much longer.

As a history buff, I enjoy immensely creating bespoke, historically accurate garments for people who care about how they look. You may opt for either machine-stitched, or hand-stitched construction. I use the same approach for other costumes, like the Casa Mos-A Jedi garments. Ruffs and cuffs, and the supporting garment details, including underclothes, feature prominently in creating an accurate s

ilhouette. I am one of the few people out there who make standing open ruffs and supportasses with any accuracy to their original, historic, construction. I lived, for a time, in Paris, during which I studied fine applied metalwork on period textiles (historic embroidery). I am available to do period embroidery as well, but the lead and turn-around time is longer, as materials need to be imported, and hand-work of that complexity takes time.

This is an interesting article that addresses using vegan materials in hat making. I also share a loatthing of synthetics (how they feel and reflect light).

Smart move, Carol. I wouldn’t trust a Featherington behind the wheel, and Scaramouche, yeah no.

Before, during and after:
I bought $5 shoes that are at least 2 sizes too large, and have been sliced to fit an actor’s bigger feet. They’ve also been painted, and the embroidered areas darkened.
They are however, the perfect color and era to match my Featherington-style costume, and there’s a con this weekend.
The only question I have is P**f, or no P**f?

(Edit: I wanted to cover the slashes and be able to use these without the floofy feathers. The poofs are removable).

Things are afoot with BB-8.1T.
Lousy bearing rings = redesign of the whole drive system physically.
The mantra is KISS. Think like a props pro.
And it’s looking closer all the time. One more parade, and the dome comes apart to be put back together lighter, faster and with the drag eliminated.

Kids are back in school, it’s time to get to work!
First job is sorting through all of the laces, trims and vintage fabrics that I have inherited from my grandparents. There are several generations worth! This is only one bag of many!
