And So It Seams - Seamstress Tracy Gordon

5/1/2014

For Tracy Gordon, being a seamstress has been a joyous adventure. A recent project found her immersed in the vibrant colours and intricate stitching of a unique “crazy quilt”, a work of textile art started by a St. Thomas woman more than 117 years ago.  However, she is just as at home sewing a costume for a customer’s imagined character from the future.

Chatting recently in her Dutton studio, Tracy described a path she has happily pursued for twenty-five years – one which has taken her from quilting and sewing to the creation of one period piece which in turn led her to become a historical re-enactor and then to specialize in the creation of period costumes for herself and others.
