Author	Topic: Costuming
Kanaloa Registered: Sep '05	Date Posted: 10/20/06 7:11am Subject: Costuming
	Hey all, I was wondering if there might be someone local that would be willing to either help me with making a Jedi costume or do it themselves if I paid for everything, out there. I'm in the springs near Peterson AFB. -----signature----- Wookiees rule

	We don't actually "sell" services on the forums, against the TOS or something like that, but there are a LOT of talented people in this group who can either help you or get you in touch with someone who can make stuff for you. It helps if you have a particular style/color choices in mind before you start looking for help. Also there are patterns by Simplicity (Mc Calls? I forget which) which are costumes that look suspiciously like a Jedi. -----signature----- Am I supposed to feel my eyebrows? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You got a giant head like that and you know nothing? C'mon

	I was thinking of using Obi-Wan's pattern and color scheme. -----signature----- Wookiees rule

	Simplicity's would be a good one to go off of then. The Padawan's Guide also has some excellent information. -----signature----- "We're not dead, we have cable!" Mac and Sarah Take on the Pacific Northwest Our Blog: http://community.livejournal.com/sarahzillamac

	Thank you Jedi Girl I'll need my measurements before I go get the linen right? Or is there a standard size for the robes? -----signature----- Wookiees rule

	I found the exact fabric match(according to that website) for Obi-wan's tunic at my Wal-mart in little old La Junta. Unfortunately they are out now. You might check some of the Wal-mart $2 fabric racks for it. -----signature----- "..in the future when we learn secrets from the other side of infinity." -Black Holes, Denver Museum of Nature and Science huh?

	You should try to get the simplicity pattern first, it will tell you how much of each fabric you need. It will also tell you what types of fabric are good to use. Usually there is someone around the fabric department that can help you read the back of the pattern to decide how much you need. -----signature----- Am I supposed to feel my eyebrows? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You got a giant head like that and you know nothing?

	Thanks all. I have the simp pattern for the inner tunic and stuff and found a great site for the boots thanks to that padawan's guide. The outer robe may take more searching. Taking my time though so it's all good. Thanks again for the help. -----signature----- Wookiees rule

	Hmm... I should go through my fabric stores and see if I've got any fabric that would work for a Jedi Costume... I already have a Sith one Kanaloa, if you need it, I do have some loaner robes... but only if you promise to take very very good care of it... I've also been going through my boxes of stuff trying to get rid of fabric and just make stuff... if I have the time I may just make a Robe... that I might be willing to part with... maybe -----signature----- "We're not dead, we have cable!"

	I thinks we just need to start meeting again regularly to work on projects/watch movies/hang out. I put pretty much everything on hold during school, and now the only thing occupying my time is WoW, and that could be potentially harmful. LOL. -----signature----- Christmas trees are like a woman's breasts -- When you wish to compliment them, if they're fake, you say they look real, and if they're real, you say they look fake.
