Patterns you could get cheaper if you watch who's on sale at Jo-Ann fabrics for abounr 99 cents to 1.99...When I have money to spare...-eyes her floor and over flowing tote- I buy what I can and extra of the same pattern. :lol: Sometimes as well with a few costumes it doesn't hurt to look through al...

Don't wear a ton of layers under Vader...Like they say in Robot chicken...You're going to smell like leathery burnt baccon. :lol: I've learned my lesson since wearing Nihilus inside and outside...Wear THIN layers under costumes that you are going to be completely covered in from head to toe.(or 5-10...

Home Depo and Lowe's is where you'll find the big rolling totes. I paid between $25-30 when I got mine and it holds all my costumes in that I don't need to put on hangers. But if you're doing Vader...You honestly almost WANT to get another smaller tote box to keep just the helmet in for safety to pr...

I lie! \0/ Someone DOES have the pattern on ebay. It's out of the US, but it's the only seller I see offering the pattern. :D http://cgi.ebay.com/KIDS-STAR-WARS-LEIA-COSTUMES-7772-PATTERN-CUT-Pick-Size-/320498154171?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_Sewing&hash=item4a9f2dbabb You COULD however get away wit...

Their is a really OLD vintage Star Wars Pattern I've seen to make the Jawa. I know my grandmother used it to make my uncle the Ewok costume years ago when he was a kid. You can locate it on ebay if your lucky, but I don't think anyone has it. The pattern is only Made for a kid, but it could easyily ...

Not a Star Wars item, but I was wondering if anyone would have a rough guess on how much it would cost to recreate the Stunner/Gun Ronon Dex from Stargate Atlantis uses. Basically I'm looking at a cost for the Gun and Sounds added into it. I'm sure Their is a way, but you armor nutters know this stu...

Most excellent! I like how this is turning out.

Yep, though I think this one you are working on now will beat the Jango hands down.

Looks great so far! It will be neat to see him and Jaster side by side once Dylans Mando is done.

For a half arsed attempt Rob that PalPie(my nickname for Palpitine) saber looks great.

I will be at the Youmacon all weekend so if you want Rob. I can take the parts and give them to Rich. He'd just need to get my cell number and call me otherwise he'll be eatten alive or fall over from smelly Otaku. I'll be at the Hyatt in Dearborn from Noon Thursday to about 3ish Sunday, but from 6p...

She said thanks for the comment Dan! :thumbs: Going to put the desgin on this weekend for her outfit. I got plenty of potatoes to use...Since they make nice stamps. The moment she comes back to my house though for another fitting I need to rip out some of the side seams and then make the slits. I we...

Well after months of plotting....begging...baiting...I got her to do it! :twisted: Right now this is just Make 1 of this outfit and I never want to work with this leather stuff again...I lost count today of how many times I've stabbed myself with pins while attempting to pin/sew. I've still got a lo...

At last, you finally got it! Can't wait to see how things progress on it.

If the fabric however is NON-Machine dry...Air dry it!

Then like with Jaster's idea take those and put them in a tote box and use fresh and extra smelly dryer sheets and stuff them in it and seal it for 2-3 days Then just air dry it again to get the very fresh scent out of it.

It's looking really good, but that sucker is heavy! I got to try it on last night :lol: Don't let me forget Paul to show you that fabric whenever I run into you next. It's still the same fabric type you want, and colorwise it matches what you told me. I own too much fabric, two totes full... :rotflm...

Cape/Hood ARE one thing now, that what I was finishing last night and trying to figure out how to drape the hood correctly. I think I'm going to need a crown more like yours. can not tell much by the full size pic. but is the Cape/Hood all 1 thing? or is it still 2 parts? in the mask pic it looks li...
