Good Afternoon Everyone,
I am newish to the whole DIY cosplay scene. I've got a few items I've made for my kids to make their store bought costumes just a bit better but I have decided to attempt to make one from scratch for myself. My older brother has a 3d printer so I have access to get prints done. I just recently finished a Revan make (not approvable) just to see and prefect working on 3d prints.
My mother use to be a seamstress years ago and taught me to sew at a young age and those skills have stuck with me. I have since then taken over her machines (Older, but better built imho than the new ones today. A Brother Sewing Machine and a Companion Sergemate) so the soft parts should not be too much of a problem minus the lack of patterns to follow.
I have decided to start my own thread here to show progress, get advice and hopefully be able to pick others brains on this, as no matter how much research I do, I always seem to have questions that I cannot find here or else where.
To start with the soft parts, I am stuck on the hood pattern or where to even start with it? The cape and the split skirt should not be a problem as they both seem rather straight forward with box and knife pleats.
The Lightsaber, I was able to catch a massive deal from a local source which I am very pleased with as this was going to be my biggest concern / obstacle.
I look forward to all and any criticism, advice and anything else that'll help.
