Star Wars ... the next generation

Hannah's Princess Leia costume was made out of an old white dress given to me. Caleb's Luke Skywalker costume was made out of a small adult karate Gi. My Mom came up a pattern and plan for both and we set to work. After Caleb's costume was sewn it was so white. So the pants were dyed brown and the jacket dyed with tea bags. It now looked like a jedi costume instead of a karate costume. Cory put together an awesome belt for Caleb and that completed his costume.
I based the dress after a pattern but it turned out WAY too big. My Mom created a pattern for a new dress and then her sewing machine did the rest. Hannah's belt was made from felt, aluminum covered cardboard cut outs and 2 pieces of velcro held it together.
