Rising From the Ashes

Posted on December 13, 2014 by Trystan L. Bass

What Gets Me Thru the Long Sewing Days

Posted on April 30, 2013 by Trystan

I don’t have any sewing progress photos because I’m just going, going, going.

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Trystan

CoCo, meaning Costume College, of course. I’ve been going back & forth about what to make for my Gala gown. I had one idea all set, with fabric bought months ago. And then … Costume Attention Deficit Disorder struck. Alas! Now I’m scrambling to see if I can find / afford new fabric in time.
