Hi! My name is Melissa. I'm a self-taught seamstress living just outside of Philadelphia. I started sewing in 2012 and taught myself using YouTube and Google as my instructors. Now, I enjoy making costumes for myself and my clients. My true love is historical costuming and I’ve experimented with Renaissance, Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian. I’ve also made several hats for those eras. I can truly dress you from “Hat to Hem”!
I uploaded my first round of videos between 2015 and 2017. They were all quick time-lapse videos and were just meant as ways for me to be able to look back at how I made certain items, kinda like a virtual sewing bible. I launched my business in 2018 and started making a whole new batch of videos! I post video diaries, sew-alongs/tutorials, and I have some costume drama videos planned.
I usually upload every other Friday.
Thanks for visiting!
