Ahh I love how this turned out!

I used my favourite dialogue between Princess Leia and Han Solo where she professes her love for him and he replies in a very... scruffy-lookin' nerf-herder way!







Oh man it makes me laugh every time.

Anyway, hit the jump for the tutorial!

Probably the simplest of skirts, this style I whip up when I have nothing to wear or if I have stray rectangles of fabric. This particular Star Wars skirt was made from two Fat-quarters I bought on eBay. I bought them as one continuous piece of fabric but if you have them cut seperately I don't think it'd be that big a deal.

This is a really great way to use fat quarters you buy of awesome fabric but don't know what to do with them!

I've seen these all over the place, but I couldn't be bothered trying to find a drill bit small enough to drill a hole into the hilt of a lego lightsaber so I did it my own way!

You can try bidding on them on eBay but it gets really crazy on there! Click here to buy a set of 8 on Amazon [including two glow in the dark!]



Tutorial beneath the cut!

Smoothtrooper lovers yo mammas flap-jacks!

Heather from Dollar Store Crafts made this adorable Yoda hat! You can make it for adults or children. Here's the one I made for my Youngling!


All you need is green fleece [from the roll or from an old blanket] and some buttons! I got the blanket for $4 from the local Crazy Whatever-They-Call-Themselves-Now. I used the existing hem on it as the hem for the hat so I didn't need the extra band she uses in the tutorial.





In future Yoda hats oh yes there will be many more in my future] I would add interfacing to the ears to make them stick out a little more.

Today you're going to learn how to make this dress!

Did you know that Doc Martens are Jedi Council approved footwear for every padawan?

I aimed to make a dress that was modelled after the Jedi clothing, but something that I could wear outside the house and conventions! This is NOT supposed to be an accurate costume, it's a nod to the Jedi while still looking hell yeh hot! The robe I made as a mini dressing gown to keep me warm and snuggly. I used brown fleece for comfort, but you can totally use a thin cotton poplin if it is hot where you live, or a heavier drill fabric for something more weighty.


The robe tutorial will be up later this month, so let's work on the dress first!
