Looking beautiful! Hang in there with the wrist and don't overdo. You've worked so hard on this project it is going to feel so wonderful when you are done! I hope you are able to get thread soon! (And I hope you can feel the chorus of cheerleaders you have for this project, and it helps!)

Thanks for the amazing thread!
I just saw this pattern go up on thingiverse for the anklet greeblies. How important is a foot detail like that to pass judging?

Awesome file! Thank you! The ones Patricia is using have the basic shape and are the correct size. They are just missing the little detail on the top/head, so are good for approval in my opinion. (She's already approved with them for at least two costumes- one RAID, one GSC.) We'll add that file to our resources for others to use- great find!

| There are a couple other really good files there as well under “Rogue One” including the blaster scope, taclight, and goggle frames. I’ll have to grab those and add to the thread here when I have good internet. |

Thank you for the compliment. My wrist is getting better every day but it probably will never be the way it used to be. They had to repair my radius with a metal plate so I have a scar to prove it.

Thank you for the compliment. In the last couple of months, I learned to listen to my wrist. It is very good at telling me what is too much and what is not. You and tenebris are very good cheerleaders that keep me motivated when something does not go as planned. Which reminds me I still haven't repaired my shirt.
I hope to finish this project in the next one or two months. Then I will continue with my Yavin Operations Trooper and Scarif Marine. After that, I only have to finish my EA Battlefront II Tatooine Specialist to finish off my current Rebel costume to-do-list.

Thank you for the compliment. It looks like Kristina was faster than me and already answered your question.

It would be nice if you could post links to those files. The more sources we have to help our members the better. Thank you in advance.

After two years this project is getting close to completion. I went to my local fabric store and bought the khaki thread that I needed to continue. It was a strange experience because I have not been in any store since March 10. I had to wear a facemask, wait for my turn to go in and disinfect my hands at the entrance.
I repaired my shirt and did some work on the collar today. I had to do the stitching twice because I did not get the spacing right the first time. I hope to finish the jacket this week.
I do not have photos of the repaired shirt yet. I forgot to take one before I threw it into the dirty clothes hamper. I take one when it has been washed.

I finished the jacket today. Now I just have to paint the transponder and take application photos.

Here are two photos of the repaired shirt. I think the darning worked very well. Thank you tenebris for the advice and the link about darning. It helped a lot. I also watched a couple of youtube clips about darning with a sewing machine.

My husband took my application photos this afternoon. I hope everything looks ok.
Here are some photos of the washed jacket, the painted transponder, and the rank badge.

Here are my application photos for my Yavin Operations Officer.
The base of my costume is my Signals Intelligence Technician.

I just realized something. I forgot the topstitching on the yoke that Cassian Andor's jacket has in close-ups. Since my jacket is light brown and has the dark brown blood stripes I often used Babou Ceesay/Lieutenant Sefla jacket as a reference for the details. His jacket does not have the stop stitching on the yoke because of that I forgot mine. He is the only supporting cast member I have close-ups from the jacket. Since Cassian Andor is a Hero character in the movie his jacket has more visible details than the jacket of the supporting cast.
