What did you use for the cylinder and how did you get the ribbing/indentation? 3D print?
I just ordered the wrap dress fabric Kristen recommended on Ebay yesterday and it shipped out today. It says estimated arrival March 3-9th.
Also, YAY PROGRESS!! I've moved forward on something guys!
Anyone know what the part that holds the cord on the goggles together after it goes through the clips looks like? In every pic it's covered by the head wrap.
Do the gloves run true to the sizes they have listed?
Awesome! I can't wait to see yours done...after all you've been the Mother of this thread!
Please don't hesitate to ask for help if I can assist you in moving forward. <3
yes, that is exactly it. I did not know that part was also on the rear of the cord, Thx!Do you mean this little brass part:
Suddenly, I just got the image of Rey coming out of the fire holding three BB8s....
Kristen, I've received the same crinkle viscose from Ebay. I would like to know did you dye it ? (Machine or handwash ?) I've never dye fabrics before, so I'm quite nervous to do it wrong and damage it.

I hand dyed it.
I put about 3 gallons of hot water into my sink. Then I put in 8 tablespoons of liquid RIT Tan, and about 5 tablespoons of Taupe.
I thoroughly wetted the fabric and put it in. As I worked it with my hands I added a bit more Tan, and then some more taupe. I kept adding bits of each until the colour was as close as I could get it to the picture in the visual dictionary. When it was just slightly darker than that i pulled it out and rinsed it in cold water and dried it in the dryer. :thumbsup
I went for the eBay Rey gloves from Singapore:
overall, they aren't bad for $20.00. They are too dark, but a spot of paint will remedy that. The only details missing that I can see is that there should be a dark brown or black piping along the opening (which i could add) and they seem to be missing the fabric patch on the thumb fronts. (I can add that too).
the main benefit to these is that they are longer (like the D23 gloves) and aren't as bulky as the Petzls (someone can have my pair if they want them).
They're back!!!
I am a size 9. Are they true to their size?
I am in the process of collecting everything to make Rey's Goggles. I know pigskin is used for the top layer. Where are you guys getting your pigskin? Or do you have any fabric left over to spare? It's hard because I don't need to purchase a full yard of it
I ordered the StormTrooper lenses off Ebay but in my option I think its a lil to big. I might have to cut it down.
Also, does anyone have the link or locations of where you bought your arm wraps? I ordered arm sleeves to tack the wrap on.
On other note, my husband surprised me with purchasing Rey's boots!!! I cant wait to get them.
Has anyone addressed this seam yet? I'm trying to find out if it's just a 'patch' so to speak, or could it also be on the back?

this is the only image online that I can find that shows the seems on her back shoulder area. It is the raglan sleeves as said. Hope this helps.
