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

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.
Wow!! That’s wicked!! Do you have anymore pics of work like that?!
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!
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.![]()

Best logo is just plain ol' Star Wars. To me, that what they all are. I've never went to a theater and said "One ticket for Force Awakens" etc. Just "one ticket for Star Wars."
Hell, I remember being in line in 1980 hearing people ask for tickets to Star Wars 2.
