Hello everyone! Where to start ? Everyone calls me Steevo. I live in Fairview Pk, a suburb of Cle. OH. I am a 45 years old. I have been a fan since ANH 1st hit the cinema. I have always wanted a Fett costume since his first appearance. The fire has grown, now is the time. The "sticker shock" and the time spent gave me no surprise. That was anticipated n I aint ascaired! I'm balls to the wall and ready for the long haul. I'm in. I am looking forward to being part of this community, learning and be able to share anything I can contribute. May the bounty be with you.

My next project is the honor sash. I started it while i waited for the paint on the boots to dry. 1/4 in. cotton rope, 50 ft. Sears hardware is the only place I found it. Rit Burgundy dye, Pat Catans. Time to start learning how to sew. I'll take any advive for the buckes and straps plz!

I will probably eventually need gauntlets. That seems like an intimidating project for a newbie like me.

Hi Steevo and welcome to TDH and the fold where you will become even more obsessed by this costume and costuming in general lol
Just take it one step at a time and before you buy: RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH

Good luck and remember - Have fun with it
