About

Jennifer Glinzak

Welcome! As a self-taught seamstress I am perpetually honing my craft and seeking projects that challenge and better my skills.

I started sewing years ago on an old Kenmore from the ’70’s, and have come quite a long way to the production of the costumes and fashions featured here. Take a look at the blog where I run down the creation process for a project or the portfolios of my work to see the finished product. Please note that at this time I am not taking commissions.

Areas of Focus:

Corsetry
