Quick Update

Time surely flies these days!! I just wanted to leave a quick update on my costume progress since my last post. I have finally finished Padme's Velvet Robe/Gown from ROTS!! I just need free time to take some pics so that I can do a write-up (wish me luck with that!). I am also starting to work on costumes for my husband and myself for Celebration VI at the end of next month. I will be husband and children free this coming weekend, so I should be able to accomplish something! I still need to order fabric for one of my gowns planned for the con, but I will be able to order that this week. Also, I will be making a trip down to Amish country to get the fabric for my husband's Bail Organa costume...maybe I will find some other fabrics as well.

I do promise to write up these costumes...I just do not know when that will happen. Please be patient as I continue to work on things :)

New Costumes Planned for Celebration VI

ME:

HUBBY:

Welcome

Welcome to my site!! This site is devoted to my Star Wars costumes...a passion I developed shortly after the release of Revenge of the Sith in 2005. As my projects become completed, I will post information on how I did them (i.e. patterns, fabrics, accessories, etc.) as well as pictures of the final product. Also, some costumes may undergo updates/revisions, so please check back for those, as I will post an "Edit/Update (date)" comment in the original post. I hope this will allow me to share my passion in a more diverse way.

I do want to add that I currently do not take commissions. I have done some in the past and did not have a good experience, so I have chosen not to add that stress to my already busy life. I thank you all for your understanding.

Thank you again...and May the Force Be With You...Always!!

****As a side note...for those of you who do not know the movie abbreviations I am using, here is a translation:

TPM = The Phantom Menace (Episode I)
AOTC = Attack of the Clones (Episode II)
ROTS = Revenge of the Sith (Episode III)

ANH = A New Hope (Episode IV)
ESB = Empire Strikes Back (Episode V)
ROTJ = Return of the Jedi (Episode VI)
