Star Wars Sewing Projects

May 4, 2015 by Amanda Leave a Comment

I love May the 4th! I had too much fun sewing Star Wars projects!

This cute comic book Star Wars zipper pouch was made using this tutorial – I omitted the lace trim. I just can’t get enough of this fabric!! I used Heat n Bond fusible fleece and added some topstitching along the seam.

My brother’s birthday is May the 4th! I made his this more “manly” zipper pouch using this tutorial. I also used Heat n Bond fusible interfacing AND fusible fleece. It has a really nice feel to it!My daughter takes a sketch book with her everywhere she goes! She was in need of a new case. To make this follow these instructions, but change the measurements to 26″ x 15″. For this pouch I used Heat n Bond fusible stabilizer to give it a nice weight.

May the Fourth Be With You

May 4, 2015 by Amanda Leave a Comment

May the 4th is a HUGE holiday in our family – yes I said holiday!!!!! For some reason we are all Star Wars Nerds! We needed to do a little sewing to celebrate this totally awesome day and to show our true level of nerdiness! When I saw this fabric I knew it was perfect for skirts for the girls – I love that there is pink and aqua in it!

I immediately went to my Potato Chip Skirt and Chocolate Chip Skirt patterns from Tie Dye Diva. They are FUN to make! In fact, Ella sewed her entire skirt by herself!

Mufasa slept on the cutting table the entire time!

I LOVE how they turned out! The girls were both up extra early this morning so excited to wear their new outfits!

I put Ella in charge of the T-Shirts. She drew the heart, applied the Heat n Bond Lite and ironed it on. We did a little top stitching to secure.

Of course we needed some Jedi hair styling!! I love the Jedi Braids!!!

Jedi Master Mufasa also wishes you a Happy May the Fourth!!!

Jedi Costumes

November 1, 2011 by Leave a Comment

This was the most intense Halloween yet! The children are so into Star Wars and they were very demanding on how the costumes should be. I searched the Internet and read how everyone constructed Jedi robes. It came down to laying the person on the fabric and cutting around their body! No tutorial here – you just have to go for it!!!
Marbles also got his own Jedi Robe. I love sewing things like that minutes before we have to go trick or treating!
