Do-It-Yourself Renaissance Costuming
Website Goal: To freely provide information and tutorials on making Medieval and Renaissance clothing, armor, and accessories. This website shall remain a free resource.

Welcome

This website has been created to act as a repository for tutorials on making your own period clothing for Faires, Festivals, SCA, LARP, Nero, Stage Productions, or just for the hell of it. Right now, due to my own expertise, it focuses primarily on leather armor. If you would like to contribute tutorials to this site on your specialty, be it forging, sewing, or anything else. Please do, they'll be greatly appreciated. This is a free repository so you will not be paid, however you can have a signature including a link back to your site or business on every tutorial that you submit.
