Q&A Part 1: Corsets for First-Time Makers, Choosing Fabrics, My Sewing Journey, and more

Hi Friends! I started out intending this to be part of this week's vlog and it sort of got away from me! Here's part one of me answering your questions! I hope you enjoy! Questions asked and answered: How did I get started with costuming and historical costuming? Where would I recommend someone start looking if they wanted to learn hand sewing? Do I have a background in sewing muggle clothes, lolita or cosplay? Are you planning on creating costumes from other eras or doing mashups of other eras? What is your favorite fabric to work with or inversely are there any that you have sworn off? What kind of dress form do you have? How did you adapt it to be your shape? What type of corset is a good one to start with? Then I talk a lot about talent versus skill.... How do I choose my fabric for my outfits? How many costumes and historical dresses do you make a year?
