	I am new to this part of Star Wars fandom, but I just don't know where to find the proper type of clothing to piece together my Jedi costume. I have never sewed anything so creating it myself seems like a stretch. Do you guys have any sites or places you find clothing?

	To make a proper jedi, you either need to sew it yourself or commission someone to make it for you. I know people on Ebay offer costume commissions, though I'd be wary of buying online. -----signature----- President of San Diego FanForce He tini nga whetu e ngaro I te kapua iti.

	IS there anyone out there that makes Jedi costumes? Or knows a real reliable maker? I don't have a sewing machine, and I imagine hand sewing it is pretty unrealistic, specially for someone who hasn't sewn before

I dont think we can suggest specific people to you on these boards but if you search ebay for custom made Jedi costumes you'll find people who do this kind of work there. -----signature----- Kay Dee's Costumes: http://kay-dee.net/costume The San Francisco Fan Force: http://www.sffanforce.com Rebel Legion - Endor Base: http://www.endorbase.org

	Are you trying to do this for Halloween? Commissions do cost, though. So it really boils down to how much you're willing to spend and how quickly you need it. -----signature----- President of San Diego FanForce He tini nga whetu e ngaro I te kapua iti. Dyslexics of the world, UNTIE!

	I know plenty of sources so just PM me if you need pointers. Letting me know about how big your budget is would be helpful too and what you want the costume for (just Halloween or Rebel Legion? etc) so I know which resources would be better for you. -----signature----- Bow down before Her Imperial Hotness!

	You don't necessarily have to sew. Get a karate gi and use the top, get some sort of long pants, cut out tabards and an obi from some type of fabric, get some sort of belt that will help accomplish the look, and a pair of boots. -----signature----- We are Mechanics against the Supervisors's regime.

	If you want it to look like you only spent $5 on your costume, then yes, that will definitely work. -----signature----- President of San Diego FanForce He tini nga whetu e ngaro I te kapua iti. Dyslexics of the world, UNTIE!
