Hello everyone! My name is Haley and I've loved Star Wars ever since I was little. I used to take my telescope and sit outside for hours at night, watching stars and wishing I could be a Jedi. I never grew out of my wish, and I've remained an avid Star Wars fan since then.
I only recently got into Star Wars costuming though. The whole thing sparked when my fiance Jason purchased a storm trooper kit. He wanted to go as a TK Commander for Celebration V, and suggested that I come up with a costume for the convention too. I'm an artist, and I know how to work a sewing machine fairly well. I also do a fair bit of leatherworking, and I've made several jedi belts and arm guards for friends for their costumes over the last few years. I just never thought to make a costume for myself. I ended up going as a Twi'lek Jedi, and Jason and I both had a blast at the Celebration. We both decided we really wanted to get into the Star Wars costuming more seriously, go to more events and meet more like-minded people. Fellow Star Wars Junkies!
Jason and I both knew about the 501st and the Rebel Legion, but I wanted to find a group that was more focused on the Jedi. I was so happy when I learned about the Jedi Assembly! I really look forward to talking with all of you, and hopefully I'll be able to join the Assembly once I've properly tweaked my costume for the group's standards. =)
