Hello from Beaverton!

[DwarfJedi]

Hi! I'm not new to cosplay but it's been a while... for the past decade I've been mostly doing Ancient Roman living history with the SCA, so I need to make all new outfits. I'm thinking Jedi and Jawa to start. I have a sewing machine but there's usually a lot of swearing involved. I can handsew a straight line like nobody's business (see Roman, above  ).

I am also happy to be un-costumed help for events. I've got a jacket with geeky patches I like to wear for things like that.

PS - the name is because I'm 4'10"  - Happy to take costume suggestions for my height and generous build (don't say Gonk Droid, that's just mean! LOL)

welcome to the forums, Sharon!

[DwarfJedi]

Thank you!

I may be able to help with a Jawa costume, unless you are looking to make your own. I have a couple Jawas that I have purchased the last couple of years that I havent gotten around to using yet

[Nathanzx10r]

Welcome! Jawa should be a fun one to start off, and it is also a dual costume which will get you membership into both the 501st & RL if you so desire.  I did one for my friend "Lil Lisa", she is 5'. The Jawas in A New Hope were recruited elementary school children from Death Valley, CA & some of the producers kids. Heights were all over the the place.

Hello and welcome! Any costume can be made to fit any build, so don't be discouraged or limited! We can help with anything you'd like to make. We're hoping to get some meet and greets and build parties scheduled soon so keep an eye out. It would be great to meet you!

[DwarfJedi]

CJ49er: Normally I would sew my own but if you've got them handy that sounds great - I'll PM you.
Nathanzx10r & CadBane3: Thanks for the warm welcome!   I'd love to do Pelli at some point. The crazy wig will be half the fun!

Yay! Welcome!

 CJ49er - I have tried sending you a PM but nothing is showing up in the "sent" area of my messages. Would love to talk about the Jawa costumes.
My friend Sara (who naturally has the hair) is doing Pelli.

I sent you a pm

[DwarfJedi]

I got it and responded... fingers crossed... you can also text me at 503 / 964 / 3422

Yeah man, cosplay who you wanna!

But also if you really are looking for more short character ideas, there are also Ewoks, Leia (Carrie was 5'1"), Rose (Kelly Marie Tran is 5'2"), Frog lady (4'9"), Maz Kanata (4'1"), or if you really want to go for short, there is Yoda or Yaddle.

[DwarfJedi]

Maz or the frog lady would be a lot of fun, but I wouldn't know how to do the facial prosthetics.

There is a seller that makes a great set, I see them on facebook from time to time. I will keep an eye out and pass on the info.
