I am a professional seamstress and I have a sewing degree.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Fascinated by the history and the historical costume, I am a reenactress since 10 years. (Mostly Second Empire (Victorian), civil war and American old west period)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
I make since a couple of years my own dresses <strong><u>with historical sewing techniques</u></strong>.</p>
<p>
</p>

So the historical costuming became my favorite occupation, especially the 19th century and vintage period (1930/1960)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong><u>I make dresses from 1850 to 1960</u></strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong> 1860</strong> </p>

All my dresses are based of original pattern or original dresses that details I can find on museum all over the world. I realize my own reproduction pattern based on original dresses.</p>

<strong><u>1880s original pattern</u></strong></p>

I decided it will be more practical to me to stay at home for working. I am actually transforming a room of my house in a workshop.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
I would like to finish as soon as possible the workshop and buying professional sewing equipment (sewing machine and a table for cutting)</p>
