We are going to take you on a costuming journey, starting where it all began in 2007.
I wanted my mom Christine, to make me Padme Amidala's Lake Gown, from Star Wars,
The Attack of the Clones.
and although she hadn't made me anything since I was very young, she said she would give it a go!!!

When I got home from work one day, there was a mock up of the halter neck dress, waiting for me.

I taught myself how to dye fabric and mom showed me how to sew, on her ancient electric Singer and eventually, we bought a sewing machine that was lighter to carry!!! We even had to learn how to make jewellery from Mother of Pearl

We bought a tailor's dummy who we named Betty and the rest, as they say, is history!
Since those early days, we have gone on to create all our favourite costumes and we hope - in some small way - to inspire you to create those costumes you have always wanted to make, but didn't think you could
Through our videos and written tutorials, we guide you through the processes we used to make our costumes. We aren't professional seamstresses, just two women with a passion, so the methods we use aren't necessarily the correct way, but it works for us.
After touring my website, we hope to inspire your creative juices and to dust down your sewing machines and have a go.
It doesn't matter if you make mistakes along the way, this is how we learn. Just enjoy yourselves!!
