Thanks! I think I'm on there, I just never go on Facebook.... I'll have a look.

Yes, that's a medusa and a lion's head... I don't know how you're planning on making that, but it's possible to find similar brass repusse medallions. I used to do Roman re-enactment and found that stuff at places in downtown LA that sold buttons and other findings. You could try here...

oops double post

Anyone taken a crack at David? I was thinking of starting on maybe his wild hair jumpsuit with the cape and flare gun... Or anyone done Walter's hoodie?

Thanks Redwillow! On the boots--I ordered them right after the wonderful people here convinced Po-Zu to stock them again. I got an email saying that the boots were out of stock and it took about two months to get mine (ordered in early January, got them at the end of February). They were very...

Thanks you everyone for posting this information. It has helped me so much as I created and now am improving my costume. I know I had promised to post patterns as I went along, but I've been having some severe mental health issues since November. They are getting better and perhaps I'll be able...

What do people mean by 'cotton gauze wrap' for the arm wraps? I was very displeased with Ace bandages. They didn't stay in place and I couldn't dye or paint them. Are people using something different? I saw someone with boxing wraps for their hands at the gym and thought that if it comes in more...

So... for my wrap I got three yards of cotton gauze and I am very happy with how it looks. I divided and tore the fabric into three strips and sewed them together, not knowing how much fabric I'd need (this was before we had figured out wrapping diagrams). When I ended up wrapping the thing...

Hey, check these out for the goggles pieces-- http://www.garvinindustries.com/images/itemimages/TOG3164.jpg They are called toggle bolts and cost under $2 for two of them which have four of the wings, enough to do the goggle sides. Also for the light on the side, the Dollar Tree sells smaller...

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Sorry I haven't been on here to thank you. I've had laryngitis for two weeks... So I'm a bit behind. But I think I can finish.

I bought silk for my pants, but I bought it in person at a shop called Fabrics and Fabrics in downtown L.A. It's called crepe. It's got a rather smooth texture, but it's still a bit nubby. It's a bit see through. I would suggest if anyone wants to buy silk off the internet get a crepe. Other...

So far, I have most of my fabric and some leather. I am only trying to get the soft parts of the costume done for the premiere, but I've been sick for awhile so I don't know what I'll get done. I just got a camera for my birthday so I'll post some pics of what I have so far. As for the shoes, I...

Hi I'm Lisa! I have boobs! I sew mostly, but after a huge disaster trying to make a costume that needed fabrication skills, I have decided to come back here and learn some new skills. I'm working on Star Wars right now- I'm helping my husband make an Agent Kallus costume, I'm making Rey and...

Thank you everybody for making such a great post! I'm just starting my own Rey project and this thread has been AMAZING. I can't really add anything yet except for a few observations. It was noted that the pleats in the crossover/overdress were sewn in place. This will most likely help with the...

Thanks for the information! I'm new to hard costuming and very appreciate of tutorials for some of what more experienced fabricators take for granted
