Hello!

Here's a little info about me:

Welcome to Quill & Pin! My name is Shannon, and I'm a living historian, seamstress, artist, writer, fiber arts fanatic, cat lady and your friendly neighborhood spinster.

I began sewing historical costumes in March 2022, and attended my first living history event at the Fort Yargo Market Faire. Since then, I dove into the world of historical sewing headfirst and have created a variety of projects!

Recent projects

I sewed nearly 50 items (both modern and historical) in 2021! Here are a few of my favorites:

My new Highland-inspired wool winter ensemble

Blue gown for me and chintz jacket for my mom

My dad's linen shirt, green waistcoat and breeches

Comfy bedgowns and aprons for my aunt and I
