I'm Nancy McCarthy, a 25 year old seamstress, reenactor, and costume designer. I love historical costumes (both making and wearing them), and all aspects of my "sewing identity," such as it is, are influenced by my desire to emulate the great fashions of the past. I've done costume design and some commissioned garments, and I make a living by my needle. If the things you see here interest you, keep an eye out for opportunities to buy some of these things, or contact me now to get your own custom creations made!
