Our first event!

This August I attended my first event as a trader, at Fools and Heroes 4 day Summerfest.

The stall, organised by wonderful Crafty Sweetheart as "Ithronian Co-op" featured a few more traders than the two of us and I must say it was great.

We made money, made new friends, took orders and what's most important, had fun!

Dark arts, dark church... Or just... Dark

I have made this hooded robe for someone whose class rules say,he should wear a mask to cover his face. However, for health reasons, he cannot wear masks and we came up with the gauze. This, I think worked really well. 

Velvety cotton with red rope trim

A robe for a high flying enchanter

This is my favourite piece so far. 

A golden velvet robe with black suedette and black raven feather mantle.

It is still available for sale at £120, and will be on the stall at FnH Summerfest :)

A gypsy top leads to a dress!

For a very long time, I wanted to have a gypsy top and my new Larp character needed new kit. First, I have had a go at making a simple gypsy top.

That, led to an idea of a dress. With a wrap around skirt, with loads of pockets. Pockets are a very important part of a LARP kit. You need them to keep your potions, holy water bottles and spell cards. And... It's a bonus, if you can reach them easily . 

Both items are made from cotton.

Past projects

Here are some projects I have made not so long ago for custom orders

Grey robe, hood, prayer scarf and tabard with the symbol of god of balance

I bought a few badger faces! Added a chopped fur coat piece and made a suede hood with matching waistcoat 

Painstakingly constructed hooded robe - patchwork  ( I am trying to use all my off cuts as Eco friendly business )

Back after busy times!

It has been a very long time since I have posted anything here. Feeling guilty but, not very :) 

In the meantime I have become a Sole Trader and my customer base in UK is growing steadily. 

This is our initial logo, home made and not great, but I like it...

Suede armour

As you remember I was working on creation of suede armour a couple of days ago. As promised, here is the result.

I have put it through endurance test, during the regular game of Bath Branch Fools and Heroes game, while monstering. It has survived and worked really well. It's comfortable, thick enough to soften the impact of hits and what's most important, it's light.
