Making a Floral Regency Dress, Part One

October 7, 2015February 28, 20165 Comments

It’s been almost two weeks since my last post, which is pretty awful. I had a month where I was feeling very uninspired and didn’t get very much done. Then my family was traveling and I ended up going almost two weeks without sewing, for me that’s kind of crazy since I usually sew everyday. … Continue reading Making a Floral Regency Dress, Part One

Making a Cotton Sateen Regency Bonnet

September 17, 2015February 28, 20167 Comments

Usually I post about making a dress, then post about making matching accessories. But today I felt like blogging about making this bonnet, so i’m doing things a little backwards. I’ve recently finished a regency themed dress made from a red and white floral fabric. I showed a little preview of it in my last progress report, … Continue reading Making a Cotton Sateen Regency Bonnet

Fabric Haul & Shopping Adventures

August 12, 2016August 12, 201614 Comments

This post was supposed to be a simple fabric haul…but then I got a bit chatty. And I wanted to include some shop reviews and photos from my recent trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. So it’s some sort of shopping adventure/review/haul hybrid. And unlike most of my hauls, the majority of these material … Continue reading Fabric Haul & Shopping Adventures

I’m a little late with writing this – but not as late as I was last year! So hopefully that counts for something! Like the title of this post implies, this is going to be a look back on what I made in 2015. I’m going to share my thoughts on each project, my goals for … Continue reading A look back on 2015

Progress Report: July & August 2015

August 7, 20157 Comments

It’s been almost two months since my last one, which means it’s time for another progress report! I got a lot done in the past two months, and i’m happy with what I got done, but it doesn’t feel like enough. I had a little mid year crisis in July, where I felt like I … Continue reading Progress Report: July & August 2015

About Me

My name is Angela, I’m twenty years old and live on Long Island, NY.

…

This blog was originally started to document my progress as I learned to draw, but it’s turned into a costume blog where I share the things i’ve made, and how I make them.

…

I truly believe sewing and costumery is my passion, and I hope it is something I can continue to do long into the future.

…

I have been sewing for four years and am almost completely self-taught. For me much of the joy in creating something is figuring out HOW to create it, which is why I prefer to learn through trial and error, as opposed to classes.

…

I’ve graduated high school and am spending the year of 2016 working on building my portfolio.

…

I hope you will enjoy my blog, and maybe feel a bit inspired. I greatly enjoy comments and feedback, so if you feel the need to say (or ask) something, please don’t hesitate to do so!

…

If you have any serious inquires I can be contacted at AngelaCostumery@gmail.com

About Me

My name is Angela Clayton, I’m a twenty year old designer and seamstress who is currently living on Long Island, in NY.

I’ve been sewing for five years and focused on period costumes and original designs for the last three.

I try to mix the elements of historical costumes that I love most – like the detail work and extravagant silhouettes – with modern materials and textures to create pieces with a lot of visual interest and depth.

I spend most of my time working on detailed costumes which involve a lot of beading and work done by hand. But I also enjoy making structured garments that play with seaming and pattern matching.
