tayloropolis@gmail.comI'm a historian living in beautiful Massachusetts, though I'm originally from Alabama. I moved here in September of 2007. I have a desperate, passionate love for all things 18th Century, as any time spent in my presence will attest. The majority of my time sewing is spent on outfits that I can use while I reenact the American Revolution, which I have been doing for the past 4 years. Much of my love for reeacting comes from my ability to make clothes related to the period. I love historic sewing. I started this journal as a way to keep track of my projects and show other people what I am doing. When I was first starting out, I found it incredibly helpful and inspiring just to see what other costumers were working on. I hope you find this enjoyable. Feel free to friend me if you are so inclined. I love friends!
Also, recently, I decided to stop boring ya'll with my non-costuming ramblings. If you still care to be bored, I have a general chatter/blog website. Tayloropolis (because I'm so creative with the names!)
