You look absolutely beautiful.

Rowan wanted to be Boba Fett and as Zoli refused to be frozen in carbonite we decided to dress him up as the dashing administrator of cloud city: Lando Calrissian.



 Lando is light blue pillowcase, strategically cut and coloured with a sharpie around the collar. The cape is safety pinned in place when worn.

 Fett is a long sleeved tee with fleece armour and utility belt sewn on. I also stitched some "battle damage" on bits of the armour. The shoulder armour is made from left over bits of Lando's cape.

I added a cape of the same green fleece with velcro squares for warmth. The knitted "helmet" is my own creation and I will post the pattern once I scan the paper or re-create it digitally.



This halloween we decided to put Ruby in the classic Leia costume from ANH. I made the whole kit from fleece. The dress is basically this pattern plus a hood. The hat is a simple fleece hat with two tubes stuffed, coiled and sewn onto the side seams.

Marvel-ous Star Wars find!

Found some cute SW and Avengers material at our favourite crafty store. Out of the Avengers I made a couple of simple football bags for 2 of our favourite mini heroes to hold their kits and shoes.





Out of the first SW pattern I made a cute valance ruffle for our padawan's new big boy room and a lovely "pillowcase" dress for our rebel princess. From a few other patterns I made a few chalkboard/placemats and am now in the process of making a body bib or two... I have a few more metres of everything and am on the lookout for some other (simple) stellar projects.
