I am Sonja, otherwise known as carnivalofvanity, Carni for short, in this online world. Who am I? A designer and professional hobby-collector from Germany. People like to tell me my day had more than 24 hours because I like to dabble in quite literally any creative thing I can get my hands on. Be that sewing, writing, music or what ever sparked my fancy just the other day.

I created this little website as a place to collect all my projects - mainly my ventures into the world of historical costuming for now. I hope you, dear reader, enjoy to read about my favourite creations and who knows might find yourself inspired to go make something, anything as well.
