This is Trelayna, my youngest daughter.  We attended a fantasy faire in Gig Harbor, WA about 2 years ago.  I designed her costume of Link, from Zelda video game.  She had purchased the shield ( a bit too heavy to carry around all day, and her famous sword).  The majority of the costume was made by her [with my help, of course]  I did do the lacing and embroidery around the edges of the tunic.  Trelayna made the pouches on her belt.  The belts were purchased at Goodwill and some of them were also made to hold her sword strapped to her back.  Anyone noticed her elfin ears yet??
