Ang, otherwise known more formally as Angela Nieves, is me. I've been making and wearing costumes since 2001 when it started as a rather ridiculous obsession to attend Anime conventions.
Since then, I've expanded my closet, and thankfully, my skills to include primarily historical garb for my reenactment with the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) as well as screen-accurate Star War reproductions for participation with the 501st Legion and Rebel Legion organizations.
So far most of the costumes I've made have been on my small Brother sewing machine since 2003. I do not have a serger. Credit is given in the galleries to those who have helped me out over time if the garments were not constructed by me. (Trust me, on some of them you can really tell. :/)
Currently I live in an apartment in downtown Providence with my husband, Ben, and our two cats: Rin and Mishu.
