We haven’t been active here in more than a year and for that we deeply apologize. A number of issues, both personal, and professional, have pushed us away from posting on the blog combined with a few dead-ends such as attempts at Patreon and e-commerce. Things got to be a real mess here because of all manner of technical issues and it’s only been in the past two months that we’ve been able to address them.

Also, over the past three years, we’ve been shifting the focus of our business towards providing wardrobe/costuming services for the entertainment industry ranging from on-set support and costume rentals to complete design and fabrication. For us, this has been a major shift but was the result of some long, hard thinking about the direction of our business, we came to the realization that relying on private clients and sales on Etsy and Ebay simply wasn’t enough for our business. COVID saw a decline in weddings and other formal events and with it, a good portion of our business.

However, through a lucky series of events, we began to get film work and we spent 2022 and the early part of 2023 working on various projects in a number of capacities. Unfortunately, just as we were getting off the ground, the Writers and then SAG decided to work on strike and almost instantly our business dried up and once again we were relying on Etsy and Ebay. A little more than a year has gone by and although the strikes were resolved, the film industry is still slowly recovering. Things ARE looking better but it’s been a slow slog in 2024.

Anyway, that’s the short and condensed version of where we’ve been away but rest assured that we’re back and we’ll be reinvigorating things and as we move forward, we’ll update you.
