About Gusset and Gather

Thank you for stopping by! My name is Jane and when I’m not sewing, I’m a professional baroque cellist and gambist.

Gusset and Gather is a one-woman enterprise that was born from my love of music and the people that make it, and the amazing tools we get to use to channel our creativity.

I was in school for historical performance in 2020. During the early days of the COVID lockdown, I unearthed my sewing machine, dusted it off, and started making masks. Before long, I was eyeballs deep in a project making 18th century linen shirts using a period treatise. Yeah, I know. It was a lot.

Since then, I’ve been dabbling in more historical costuming, engaging in sewing as therapy as I finished my DMA, and have ultimately found myself here, making things that make me happy.

I hope they will make you happy, too!
