how did everyone hem the wrap dress? I'm doing a rolled hem but second guessing it...

 

[Redwillow]

No hem on ours, it's supposed to be tattered.

 

[kristen jones]

[papersflower]

Worked on my daughters belt. There is nothing I could find that gave the exact length of the belt. So I just winded it. I think the loose hoop needed to be just a little bit longer. But, she likes it.

What are the fabrics you are using on this?

Army shelter half for the green like boba fetts cape.

Brown is duck cloth

White is cheese cloth.

Got the sling put together with pretty accurate hardware.

that staff and sling are looking very nice. Where did you get the enfield slings and that buckle from?

 

[kristen jones]

I found my slings on eBay, but you might also contact JJGriffin. I know he offers complete slings with his staff kits...perhaps he's got an extra sling lying around.

 

[Fett 4 Real]

I got my slings from a place on Amazon. Same with the lobster clasps and the slider from etsy. I bought enough for a couple. I'm helping a friend with his daughters also.

Also his price for the sling and such is pretty unbeatable...even having some material on hand I spent quite close to what his price is for the upgrade on his staff.

Yup... JJ Griffin is good people! I have never been dissatisfied with anything I've gotten from him, and his prices are always a great value. :thumbsup

Made the last bits for the staff today with scraps I had and other buttons and rives I had from a project last year.

Fett 4 Real, what kind of slider bar did you use? The one I got ended up being too small.

Everything looks great!

1.5" slider from a bag shop on etsy. Took a bit of searching...

Here's the head wrap I got sewn together this weekend using the dharma fabric. It still needs to be dyed and the length will need to be trimmed after dying. About 1/2 of the length of the lower part needs to come off. I decided to bring in the upper part that ends up around the head to avoid having it too bulky. Really happy with the outcome on this piece. First "garment" I've ever done with a sewing machine.

A small update on the Boots Arm Wrap front:

I've spoken to my contact in UK, and she has ordered a case from the company direct, rather than driving all around trying to gather them up.

As soon as they hit my door, I will be contacting you all on the list for your addresses so I can send you your FREE arm wraps. :thumbsup

NOTE: This is FREE.

ALSO, there is no money involved.

In ADDITION, it's Pro Bono.

In OTHER WORDS: You don't have to pay.

PLUS, it costs nothing.

AND, you get them for less than a song.

(Do you think I shouted that message loud enough...? :lol )

I may just take the side seams in on my head wrap a bit more in the "neck" area as you've done here. Mine does get a bit bulky there, and it shifts around on my shoulders alot with the backpack straps running over it. I wonder if slimming the "neck" would help on both fronts?

Good show!

Yeah, I made a mockup of it first with some junk fabric and it just looked too bulky up there on her. I suspect removing some of that material would help with your issue. I'm moving toward ordering that amazon bag for the backpack, so I might know more about how it sits after I get to that part.

 

[kristen jones]

I totally recommend that bag! I mean, i made another from scratch...and that's uber cool too. BUT...the Amazon bag was alot less money and effort. LOL
