Make a Luke Skywalker Costume: Bonus Jedi Costume

Luke.  I am your mother.  I made your costume.  I bled on it.  Sorry. It’s every boy’s dream to be Luke Skywalker, at least it is mine.  So, we’ve both had a turn in our Luke Skywalker costume.  The costume’s not hard.  Let’s go!

Don’t miss this DIY Yoda Costume

I made a karate outfit.  This was a mistake.  I see karate costumes all the time at Goodwill.  If this is something your child would like to, I say keep an eye open.

I made his little leg wraps.  I just sewed little strips of wrap together, with velcro up the back — just like a boot cover.  In retrospect, ace wraps would have been just as good (also great for any Halloween first aid emergencies).

But, these do look nice. Throw in a belt and a green lightsabre and you’ve got one Skywalker boy.

As for the jedi robe — it’s just a robe, made out of a brown crushed velvet fabric.  I think I may have even left the edges raw, because that stuff doesn’t unravel and I’m starting to get lazy in my old age.

I think that’s the most wanted costume in the bin at this point though, because in a pinch it could also be Harry Potter robes.  The key to good costumes is items that can be used in many different themes.  I also made a vest for him out a nu-buckísh type material (similar to what I made the boot covers with).  Super easy, and very doable. And that’s it.  go be a Jedi today!
