[Names Called While Trooping]

At my very first troop, I got called Rose. I mean what the hell people! 

[Dr Aphra - Frontcover Version]

I am working on this and I need help finding belt buckles, that is my biggest challenge at the moment.

Mine are Black leather boots that I already owned with an inside zipper. Those you have look perfect to me.

Thanks all! ^^

Neat! Was the fur lining sewn to the hat you both just along the edges, or was it was is glued to the hat? 

The fur lining along with cotton batting was sewn in. I just ripped the seams, and pulled the batting out then hemmed the edges. I used the batting I pulled out as stuffing for the ear protection. The hat I have goes with with the Red Vest A that I got approved for because it has snaps on it. I will be doing a similar technique but choosing a hat with buckles for the grey vest option.

Hi all!

I'm finishing up an approvable Doctor Aphra costume. Only the aviator hat left. I've got the pattern, but I was hoping to get some tips about the material. 
Would upholstery leather be ok, or should I go for something thicker. 

Other Aphras, what kind leather or pleather did you go for?

Also, would you recommend any places to order the fabric from, aside from TandyLeather? (I'm based in Southern California.)

Hello, Recently approved Aphra here. I bought an aviator hat from Amazon, stripped the fur lining and made my own ear protection circles from faux suede in a similar color to the cap. I'm terrible at sewing so I did a lot of my costume by scavenging and dismantling other clothes and hand sewing them together.

Hello 

I'm Lindsay, my Doctor Aphra was just approved by 501st yesterday at noon. My announcement pic hasn't been posted yet. I am with the Bluegrass Garrison in Kentucky, Blue Sun squad. I'm not sure if I am a detachment member yet, but Nina Marley was asked to consult with my garrison on my costume due to their unfamiliarity with it and she gave me the thumbs up before my GML did, so that counts for something!!! My very first troop looks like it will be with a neighboring garrison, MidSouth, at the Knoxville Ice Bears game on 2/9/19. Any Flagship peeps in the Midsouth here?
