Welcome!

        Hi there! I'm Shayla, and just a little introduction to me, I've been trying to figure out were I need to be in the wonderful adventure of life for the past year. I've found a strong passion for acting, theater, civil war reenacting, history and anything in between. My strongest interest currently is period fashion which, for me, is anything from 1500's to the 1950's.

I'm a hopeless romantic and I know it. Anything that has to do with love, history and fashion is something you can find me all over. I'm not a professional seamstress, although my grandmother was. She, however passed away before I could get to know her tricks of the trade. I've been left with the jean of sewing but I've been learning things as I go, which means I am by no means a expert in sewing or historical/ period fashion. I do however, spend to much free time studying and doing research on different eras as they are "needed" in my life.


That about sums me up, now let me tell you about the blog.


First of all, thank you for reading this, it means a lot that you took the time to stop by.

Second, this blog is dedicated to my mother and late grandmother who have inspired me to continue in sewing and push through all the ripped seams and uneven hems.

Lastly, this blog will show you what I've been up to in the reenacting and costuming worlds. You will mostly see Civil War (1855-1865) reenacting that I do, but you may see one or two surprise posts with different events that I go to.

Thank you,

Truly yours,
Shayla P.
