I recently learned to sew and was excited to make as many geeky things as I could, starting with this awesome Boba Fett bag!



Carry your Bounty like a pro with this one of a kind Boba Fett bag. Hand crafted by a Star wars Geek Girl who made sure no detail was overlooked. Features include the Mandolorian skull patch, Boba Fett's emblem patch, button blaster scratches, and wookiee scalp braids (no wookiees were harmed in the making of this bag). It is 100% cotton. This bag has a long strap so it fits comfortably on your shoulder and hangs down close to your hip.

For Christmas this year (or, more accurately, for his birthday, only it overran a bit), I got way too ambitious and made my boyfriend a quilt with the Death Star on it. I had made precisely one quilt before and that was a little one, for a baby, using charm squares. But the idea wouldn't leave me alone, so I had to give it a shot...

I think it came out OK, though. :D



( More pictures and details at my journal! )

(This will be x-posted, so many apologies if you see it more than once.)

My husband and I threw a birthday party for our son who's turning 5. He just adores Star Wars so of course I had to make a Death Star pinata and paint a broom handle to look like a lightsaber for the kids to whack at it with. (I actually thought it was an original idea for about a day until my husband Googled it and found a dozen sites or more about how to do it.) Mine came out great and it was so fun watching the kids go to town on it. ( That's no moon...it's a pinata )

 I made this super simple singlet with an existing plain shirt and some bleach!

I plan on making a trillion more with different quotes, the next one will be Skywalker <3

 Hi guys! I finished this a few days ago but I have no real reason why I haven't posted it earlier! I made a Jedi robe a few weeks ago, so I could have a cute dressing gown to snuggle into when it could chilly here at night. It's pretty much the most amazing thing in my life right now. When I wear it I get stuff done [husband is pleased with that!].

A few days ago I finished a Jedi-inspired minidress. I wanted it to look fairly like the costumes but at the same time be able to be worn out to the shops and things like that. I am a little bit proud of myself and I can totally see me justifying wearing this to do my grocery shopping in. Haha.

A friend made this R2-D2 quilt for me. She used an Artoo kite as a template and hand stitched the entire thing.  The details are impressive, most impressive.  For more pictures of the quilt, view my photo album.

Previously I had posted several Star Wars Cross Stitches that I had completed (located here) that consisted of two difference Princess Leias, two different Queen Amidalas, a Luke Skywalker, and a Han Solo.

Well I've been at it again! This time I've completed 1 Anakin Skywalker, 1 Obi-Wan Kenobi (padawan), and 1 Senator Bail Organa. Images located below the cut:

Keep your eyes posted in the next few days for a Boba Fett (he's driving me crazy!) and Luke Skywalker in his farmboy outfit.

Thanks and I hope you enjoyed looking at my Star Wars cross stitch!

Vlogger Jennifer Landa made this AWESOME video of her making the Jabba the Hutt Body Pillow craft
from my book The Star Wars Craft Book!

Among those of us into Jedi costume (Rebel Legion and Jedi Assembly), there is the belief that Jedi healers wear blue.  This is based on one line in The Evil Experiment, Jedi Apprentice #12, page 12: "The Jedi Healer, Wanna Di Yuni, came toward them, dressed in the light blue tunic of a medic."  There are a few of us who have made Jedi garb in light blue.  Some have made creative medical props.  To the extent that I've developed a persona, which is very little, I figured I would follow my real world training and expertise, which is "behavioral health", as it's called at my hospital.

I saw this tutorial on making a book purse out of a DVD case.  It gave me the idea of making a prop for my Jedi Healer:  a Jedi Order version of the DSM.....
