Blue's Armory is a channel built around my love for costuming and Star Wars I've been making Star Wars costumes for years and finally started to share my love with everyone else. I am by far not the best crafter in the world but I'm hoping through my mistakes people can learn new skills and what not to do on their journey through this hobby!
