Sugarbear wanted a dark brown Jedi robe to go with his Anakin Skywalker Halloween costume. I modified this pattern (Simplicity 5512 view E) to make it. I made the sleeves less "pointy" and rounded off the hood in the back. Now I'm wishing I had a serger so the seams would look nicer...oh well, a girl can dream...
Here's my little Jedi:
A note about this pattern: You need to know how to sew princess seams in order to attach the sleeves. I realized as I was making this that I do not like to sew princess seams but I am definitely more skilled at them as a result of this project. I wonder who sews Jedi robes in that galaxy far, far away. Probably a droid.
He was awesome as Anakin!
