I've been creating, drafting and sewing for thirty years and enjoying every minute of it. I've costumed many high school, college, and community theatre plays (acted in quite a few too). I worked my way through college as the costumer for the theatre department while I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Theatre/Communicatons. I'm currently attending Texas Woman's University pursuing my Masters Degree in Costume Design.

Well, I decided to scrap the whole idea of making pirate pants. I did a little more research and found that there are basically two types of pirate pants that you frequently see at Ren faires, fitted jean style and baggie drawstring style. I was working on a "period correct" pattern and realized that they would be incredibly hard to fit without doing custom fittings (and custom fittings ain't gonna happen : ) ) So, I've sketched another style of "ranger" jerkin that I'll start drafting this week. The style reminds me of Faramir from LOTR. I'll upload a sketch as soon as it's ready!
