My name is Kelly and I’m the owner of the Silver Lining Sewing Lab, which is a fancy name for my home studio where I create a variety of costumes and cosplays. I believe that every project, especially the ones you are so frustrated with you want to light them on fire, has a lesson to teach you.
I’ve been sewing for over 20 years and tend to use a lot of patterns. When you use patterns, it’s nice to find finished pictures of other peoples projects to get a sense of what they could look like. It’s nicer still to find reviews and even further instruction for complicated patterns. I don’t tend to find a lot of details around the types of patterns I like to use and thought others might be in a similar situation. I started this blog as a way to help other costumers get information on patterns.
My favorite types of sewing projects include medieval fantasy garb for men and women for larping, historic reenactment pieces, and cosplay. I live on a farm in New Jersey with my husband and we like to adventure.
