Costuming Jack Randall from Outlander: Accessories
It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander novels (and Outlander series on Starz), as I have made, purchased, and worn many Claire costumes and accessories. But special points to my husband for putting up with my sewing/costuming madness, and for getting talked into wearing Oulander’s main villain, Captain Black Jack Randall’s […]

Costuming Claire from Outlander: Season 1 (Additions)
Claire has so many lovely looks in season 1 of Outlander during her time in the Scottish Highlands. I like that most of the outfits worn during this time are *mostly* historically accurate mix and match pieces of 18th century clothing and accessories – from petticoats to stomachers and jackets, to cloaks and crocheted wool […]
Costuming Claire from Outlander: Season 1 (c. 1945)
It’s no secret that I’m a HUGE fan of Outlander (books and show) and a HUGE fan of Claire’s character. So much that I’ve costumed several of her season 1 looks in 18th century Scotland, working on a couple season 2 costumes from her time in Paris, and working on pieces from her versatile season […]
Costuming Rey from Star Wars: Belt & Accessories
Little girls and grown women alike were inspired by Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. So naturally, we want to build/buy/wear the costume(s), right? You may find the scavenger outfit all over the place, but my friend Aimee Miller wanted to wear the outfit Rey has on at the very end of the film, known […]
