Darkthreads.com
http://www.darkthreads.com/ - same old address, but I have repurposed the domain for selling military and tactical uniforms and accessories. Yes, I know that's a far cry from corsetry and Medieval costuming, but we are catering to airsofters, paintballers, and LARPers who do military/scifi themes. Http://darkthreadsgear.blogspot.com is my blog devoted to that space.

I finally posted a creation to my profile over at BurdaStyle.com! It's been a while since I made myself something that wasn't SCA garb or a costume of some sort. These are just regular old casual pants for work, using Burda Mode pattern #9305 Ellen Pants that I downloaded for free :D. I used a cheap piece of stretchy brown denim that I found at Walmart. I guesstimate that it cost me less than $10 in materials, and they fit pretty well. I like the pattern and might reuse it, but the instructions were dodgy. I just did it my own way.
I can't wait to make more pants!
Back to costuming, I also recently finished making another kimono and obi:
I used Folkwear's kimono pattern with purple silk dupioni from fabric.com. The obi was a piece of satin brocade from mystash.

QotDs:
In politics, absurdity is not a handicap. ~Napoleon Bonaparte
I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes, - and the stars through his soul." ~Victor Hugo
An author is a fool who, not content with boring those he lives with, insists on boring future generations. ~Charles de Montesquieu

What I've made recently:
Hippari (Japanese field jacket) in cotton camo.
Regimental jacket for American Revolution reenactment (unfinished in the photo). I'm hoping that my client can send me photos of him wearing it in action.
Kosode with simple wrapped cloth for skirt, as in this photo.
Kosode with mo-bakama skirt, as in this photo.
