Welcome to the online portfolio for the Seamstress of Avalon, Ginger Breo. Please pull up a chair, turn up the lamp, adjust your spectacles, and get comfortable; you may be here for some duration! This site encompasses the last fifteen years of my work, and it will continue to expand and grow as my repertoire does; I hope to add new pages to it on a regular basis.
With a focus on historical costume that spans from the English Renaissance to the Modern era, I have kept my fingers and my machines busy over the last decade and a half, but you’ll also find fantastical creations and many film and television reproductions: another passion of mine.
I feel that a costumer is an artist whose canvas is the body, and a good costumer can tell the entire story of a person in their garments; through the years I have tried to perfect this art of “fabric-story-telling”, and I learn something new every day, and with every costume I build. I hope you enjoy your stay, and as always, Happy Sewing!
