RECREATIONS

In 2004 and was bitten by the Spanish bug so to speak and started to fall in love with the style, all it took was one portrait. As I was learning about the construction and any other issues that may befall the modern historical costumer I found that a few other people had shared their love for the style. I have decided to add this section to my site to perhaps help inspire others to get to work on their own garments. Which I hope then to link to from here and let them further inspire others.
