Ginger Muse Art
Address
I am a long-time seamstress who started out as a costume maker.
In college, I majored in Chinese Art and Fine Art and picked up sewing in my early twenties through my husband and family. I love colors, design and making things with my hands that have meaning. Sewing became a way for me to "paint" with fabrics.
A lot my early 20's was spent as a camper and Larper (Live Action Role Player). After years of experimentation and practice, I learned how to make my costumes, and my clothes, more durable, longer lasting, and more comfortable.
Family Ties:
When we started a family, I started making clothes for my kids and I wanted them to last through playing and washing and being handed down and through the constant and varied abuse that kids wreak on their clothes.
My passion is really in making things that people love with the characters, stories, themes and art that they love in their lives. I think of it as functional nerdy costuming. You’ll think of it as the favorite thing in your closet.
Mask Masking:
Just as I evolved to meet my needs as a gamer and a mother, I am evolving to meet the needs of the world in a pandemic. I have read as much literature as I can on fiber content, breathability, and protection, and followed the CDC’s guidelines to the best of my ability.
While I am educating myself, and trying to keep up with changes as they are made, I am by no means a professional maker of PPE. I do not have the equipment to do proper filtration testing which is the only way that I recommend anybody assume something is medical grade.
