Here they are! The kids looked darling when they went trick-or-treating! (Our town does trick-or-treating on Thursday night if Halloween falls on a weekend).
As we were walking door to door, a bounty hunter walked by. There was a bit of tension in the air as he aimed his gun at my Jedi and the boys held their light sabers 🙂 It was pretty funny. But we were on the good side. Always.
We always see Clone and Darth Vader costumes. It was refreshing that my little guys were the only Jedi that we saw this year.
And look at this little princess. Just darling!
I used these patterns to create our Star Wars look. Patterns that I already had in my stash from previous years. I added photos below so that you could get an idea of what to look for since there are many different patterns that would work. The pants were done from scratch, just using pj bottoms as my pattern.
I used this pattern to create the tunics.
Capes
Boots
Princess Leia.
I didn’t have a pattern for the boy’s belts. Just made them out of felt and added velcro.
The best part is that these will be added to the costume box downstairs which gets almost daily use. So my time and effort will be utilized for more than just one night. Enjoy your Halloween Weekend!

November 2, 2010 at 7:40 amWow! too cute! My goal is to make my son’s costume next year… Maybe Yoda and hubby can be a Jedi and I can be Leia? That is very ambitious for me as I just started sewing again (for the first time since I was about 10 years old)… This year I made capes so my friends and I could be super heroes (we gathered the rest of our costume pieces) and my son wore a panda outfit that his grandma got for him at Sam’s club (with a homemade cape of course 🙂

November 2, 2010 at 4:14 pmSuper cute! Our whole family was star wars too.. but I did the quick way of using karate gi’s and didn’t use a pattern to make the robes and Leia’s dress. I love the way yours came out though!

November 3, 2010 at 5:39 pmMy son went as Obi Wan too. We used his Star wars Build-a-Bear as a model and also checked out Padewan – everything you want to know (and stuff you didn’t) about SW costumes). We found brown pants and a beige overshirt at a clothing sale and a belt at a charity shop. I made cloak with a hood from a remant of brown cord from the fabric store, plus the tabert (goes around the waist and the belt goes over it). I hadn’t sewn in 20 years so it was a bit challenging but fun. Total cost $11 plus a spool of thread – my son was very happy with his “home made” costume. There was lots of room under the shirt (unlike store bought costumes) and we didn’t fight about him wearing something warm under his costume – we had snow on the ground and the temp was close to 0 celcius.

November 3, 2010 at 5:49 pmL-O-V-E These! My son is obsessed with star wars right now, and I think my husband would spend whatever amount of money to make these costumes happen, as he is a little obsessed himself! I’ve got two boys and a girl and this would look awesome! Thanks!
