As the Jyn boot flap guru...it's really tough. You have to make all of those holes manually with an awl. Then, it's still rough getting the needle through especially for the part where it goes through the boot too. If you don't wear finger protectors, your fingers can get injured doing it repeatedly too much at once. |

Submitted last night. Fingers crossed!
Still working on Resistance/Training Rey and Jyn. My lack of motivation lately has been pretty bad.

Slowly but surely working towards a Jedi (Generic) costume....
I currently have a lightsaber and some food capsules...  
I'm looking into the other pieces and should have something by Halloween

Awesome!! Can't wait to see it! I submitted my Ahch-To version of Rey this morning. It's essentially the same costume as Resistance, sans vest, gauntlets, different arm wraps and no blaster.

Thanks!! The shirt and vest/gauntlets I had commissioned, and then the pants I had some help from Jess S. and Naomi. The shirt needed some fixes before submitting, and thanks to Naomi we got that done as well!
I got the unofficial approval for my Resistance version from my judge yesterday, yay! Just waiting to hear the official announcement now haha.

Looking good!!
My Resistance and Ahch-To Reys were approved!
I finally got my Jyn pants and did a test fitting last night. Please excuse my exhausted self haha. Something about the bottom of the pants is just "off." I think it's because I'm so short, and the bottom hem has to come to the top of boots, which makes my pintucking section much shorter than usual. Errrrggghhhhh!!
I may bring some of the bottom hem down, which I have about .5" of. I also need to tighten the waistband of the belt with some Velcro, and I might cut some length off the holster straps to the waistband to bring it up on my leg a bit. THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING. People, be thankful you're not under 5 foot because it sucks!!! Lol
