I currently am working as a webmaster. I enjoy sewing clothing for the five of us. My main interest is in sewing tips, creating patterns, and costuming in general.

H-costume archives are now available from h-costume and more recent ones are avaliable at http://sca.uwaterloo.ca/~fashion/archives/.
They are currently on my site until such a time that they can be housed else where or the owner of the archives asks me to remove them. These are the zip archives from 93, 94, 95 and 96. Once you unzip them you have to add .txt to the ends of each and format them to the way you want the to look.
