The creation of medieval costumes for SCA re-enactment is another of my interests; I make clothes for myself and anyone who can persuade me it's an interesting project, and I maintain a library of costuming research material and patterns, and run occasional workshops and Arts and Science evenings. My personal costume interests are focused around late 14th century English and French costume. One of these days I'll put up some photos...
