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...
