Star Wars - Embroidered Family T-Shirts

So...As I mentioned in my last post, there are some ladies on Facebook who have been ordering embroidered T-Shirts from me when they or I get an idea for one. 

Anyways, I came across a couple of "Star Wars" embroidery on my DVDs. One of those ladies in particular is a Star Wars nerd...just like me! Anyways, I gave her some ideas, and this is the one that she liked the best:

That gave me an idea as my sister, Rebekah, has just become pregnant!

So, I decided to make shirts for the whole crew as a surprise.

The baby shirt, I actually made from scratch. The other shirts were from the store. We don't know the gender yet, so. . .I figured this shirt could go both ways.

And, because I'm such a nerd, I have to explain that this covers not just the family members, but also elements from all three movie phases.

The End!

Refashioning: Making Clothing More Functional - Star Wars Bodycon Dress into a Shirt

My baby sister, Tabitha, got me this AWESOME Star Wars bodycon dress for Christmas! I wore it once with pink tights, but felt really uncomfortable all day. I'm not really a bodycon kind of girl. However, I LOVE Star Wars and this dress really is killer.

See? Awesome! And the printing is all in a high shine silver! The fabric is that scuba style jersey that is popular right now and I love because of its structure. It's like. . .wins all over the place. . .the only "lose" is in the fact that it's just too long. Time to fix it!

Using a shirt with a nice length, I placed said shirt over the dress and made my first incision. . .

The relief was almost palpable at this point. . .

I cut a strip from the bottom fabric to use as the hem of the shirt.

I pinned it marking the band in equal fourths. Then, I attached the band to the shirt in equal fourths and sewed it on.

That's all it took!

Here it is with my new skirt I made on a previous blog post.

The End!
