AboutThe woman behind Centuries-Sewing currently resides in Florida, U.S.A. The costume habit started when she was six or seven years old and her cousin showed her Labyrinth on Vhs. The love of poofy dresses and masks stuck with her even if it took several more years before she realized she could make them. Growing up she read folklore, mythology, and Shakespeare coupled with a mid 90′s diet of television with vampires, immortals, warrior princesses. It wasn’t long before she was writing her own stories and plays, role playing in the backyard, and chasing her friends with (wooden) swords. She is self educated in sewing, pattern drafting, and draping and holds an Associate’s Degree in Interactive Media.
