A witch who sews and makes magical crafts.

I’m Trina, a Bay Area stitcher with 15 years in cosplay and costume making.

I have a BA in theater arts with an emphasis on costume design and a degree in apparel design, and I have created more than 400 costumes for clients and for myself.

Now a freelancer, I take cosplay commissions and other sewing projects. I design costumes using many craft techniques, adding my own creative touch. I make detailed, neatly finished outfits—especially historical garments and horror costumes. I compete in cosplay regularly and have won many awards for my craftsmanship and performances.
