I feel like the split skirt might not be to practical in desert winds...............

So for those who love Star Wars music. I suggest checking out this guy's YouTube channel. He does a great job of getting all the music from the films. Stuff you'll miss if you just listen to the official album releases. Film Score Media

Hhhggnnnnnnn my jam. Insta-bookmark. Awesomesauce, thanks.
While we're at it posting some pics of our own, I figure I might as well share some shots of the thrifted jacket Mom beaded for me:
(If you'll forgive the slightly crooked Aurebesh - this is handmade, after all - it spells MOON JOCKEYS.)
The blue beads aren't the cockpit window, they're meant to represent the astromech socket.
Just went for a straight-up Lisa Frank-meets-Star Wars vibe.
Had to embellish it with some rad pins from Etsy (glittery Binary Sunset and the iconic quote, "It's Fake and in Space") and some charms/pins from Joann's.
Yes, I totally plan on rocking this again on May the Fourth.

Of that particular jacket, that's all the shots I took. (Mom's other jacket pieces aren't SW, lol.)
That's the reason behind my username - I'm the one who "sketches" the outline of the design on the fabric and she does the embroidery/beading. (I have to use a white chalk pencil on most jackets, since anything dark won't show up enough for her to see it, and that pretty much means having to free-hand the drawing since I can't really do a trace transfer with a "white charcoal" medium the way I could with regular charcoal on light muslin. She's been making jackets on-&-off for me since I was 4 years old.
We had plans to make a "crossing lightsabers" jacket, but she's grown so ill that this work has gotten too uncomfortable for her, so I don't think that one will happen.
I'd rather she not push herself and be in pain just to get another one done.

Wow, that’s really cool. I like the family team work! Also like the username explained, makes perfect sense!
Sewing, stitching, I wouldn’t know where to begin with that
Very cool to see a mother and daughter team!

Ah, I just remembered - when I was in middle school, Mom actually did throw together my very first SW costume for Halloween: Ewok Village Princess Leia.
She improvised with some clothing and materials we had on hand and I already had a faux braid headband, and I recall it being pretty cute. But I was miffed that no one in class recognized who I was supposed to be, LOL. Unfortunately I don't have pics of that.
ThreadSketch, I dressed up as a shower, a la Daniel in Karate Kid, the year that film came out. No one else did, and no one recognized the reference. Biggest costume downer ever. I hate when that happens -- especially when one figures people should get the reference.
Beautiful beadwork, though. Tell her we said so.

LOL, majestic - truly an epic bummer no one caught on.

Welllllll...Mom doesn't know about me posting her handiwork on the internets and she'd probably be more than a little freaked out by that, but I'm glad she's appreciated.

Dude last year when I took my niece to our annual Halloween parade here in town, there was maybe a 10yr old boy in the shower costume!!
I wish I took a picture but could you imagine a 35yr old ghostbusters running up to you asking to take a picture of your 10yr old kid in a mobile shower... yeeeeeaaah kinda creepy
But I was amazed at a kid that age knowing the movie and costume his bothers and friends with johnnys crew in the Skelton costumes, but the shower costume was the best!!

I came across this picture this morning.
It's always fun to look back and see a franchises logos. You get a sense of how it's evolved. There's been a lot of them, when you add the Special Editions, foreign releases, and different toy packaging.
What's everyone's favorite logo? I think I'm partial to the Prequel logos. When I was kid I can remember seeing them all over the place, and on everything you could possible imagine. It's amazing to think how much the Prequels affected me, even though I wouldn't get to see the films until years after they were all released.
