Jedi Knights
From Star Wars Episode 1
I made a REALLY lazy pattern for these... basically George laid on the
fabric and i traced around him! Then good old curtain fabric made another
appearance... nice heavy unbleached cotton. I whipped these together in
a couple of days, and when finished decided they looked too new, so decided
to put them through the heavy-duty cycle of the washing machine to 'rough'
them up a bit. Well, I certainly learnt my lesson about pre-shrinking
fabric! As you can see, the cream tunics are a tad snug. The cloaks were
also a 'trace around the wearer' job. The belts were brown 'leather-look'
vinyl... very cheap and easy to sew... then rubbed over with a cloth dipped
in indian ink. The effect is very like old leather.
These costumes have made several appearances at costume events and and
other Star Wars promotions. |
