Did it! Dyed it! IT CAME OUT PERFECT! Kristenhenry70, I used the ratio you had posted almost 50 pages back when you dyed your viscose; I had to add a little more tan and quite a bit more taupe, but I did dye swatches first, and then dyed the rest of the fabric.
I have pics to post. Just have to figure out how to do it from my tablet.

So I realized this morning that this thread is officially a year old! (And at 100 pages. I like that symmetry). 
Happy Rey-versary everyone!
And to all of you who are making headway on your costume, it all looks fantastic! My costume is going on the backburner for the moment as I'm working on a potentially really big secret project. But I think kristenhenry70 has got things more than covered over here. (So if I'm Thread Momma, I think that makes you Thread Aunt, Kristen).

that's awesome!
Yes... I did the exact same as you... I started out with that ratio, but then kept adding tan and taupe till I nailed it.
Good show! Glad it turned out for you. :thumbsup

ooOOoo... secret project, you say? I'll be on pins and needles till you are able to reveal it.

Hear hear! To Kristen! I may have started the thread, but she's the real power behind it. Her research and dedication both to her costume and helping others with theirs (including me!) is astounding. Cheers kristenhenry70! <3

So is that one you made from scratch? Or is that a modified signal satchel? Looks great!

Modified reproduction satchel from eBay. Took this all the way apart and cut the pattern division6 posted.

Thanks!

well thank you, Thread Momma....
There are a TON of die-hard researchers on here though. I am but one of a multitude, and by far not even the most steadfast.
The important thing is that we all keep working together...that's what makes us so strong!

yes...! The very one.

Looks fantastic! You've used all the right fabrics. :thumbsup
Now we just need to sort you out a backpack and you'll be 100% Scavenger.

here it is:
We owe DIVISION6 a HUGE thank you for this, as he was the first to offer this up. Also, some of us would not have our beloved Po-Zu boots were it not for him, among other discoveries. So as we are of a mind to recognize the stalwarts of this thread, just don't let's forget Division6! He may not be so active here any longer, but we'd none of us have gotten so far without his help...most of all ME.
yes, both Division6 and Kristen have been very helpful. I recently used the division6 belt pattern and it made things go much smoother making that piece.
Kristen - do you still have your old petzel gloves up for grabs?
We are slowing getting closer to having a full scavenger version. I got the dharma fabric washed, and a pattern laid out for the head wrap, now I need to borrow a sewing machine! Decided to redo the wrap dress, after watching TFA a dozen times, I think it's just too dark.
