Welcome!

16th-century Germany & Landsknecht fashion is our passion.

We are historical costumers with a love for German Renaissance clothing. We love to share what we have learned about creating historical clothing in order to empower you to be the best costumer you can be. We cover sewing and construction, fabric and fiber, accessories, and culture. We believe that everyone starts somewhere, practice makes perfect, and failure is always an option.

Looking for Landsknecht and Trossfrau? Loving the Cranach Saxon look? Or, perhaps the humble Hausfrau is more your speed. Either way, if you want to look like you just walked out out of a portrait, we can help you get there!

We are currently developing a line of digital patterns based on extant examples, period depictions, and our over 20 years of combined experience and research. Check out our Etsy shop for our current patterns on offer, as well as fabric kits, tools, notions, and findings to take your historical costuming to the next level!

Our website is currently under construction. In the meantime, please find us on social media for free YouTube tutorials and to see what projects we are currently working on.

We also host a Landsknecht Sew Along group on Facebook, where we share additional research and information and chat with other historical costumers and fans of the German Renaissance.
