Boj-Vaati's EU Jedi

**Boj-Vaati Mau** · 03-02-2011, 02:13 AM

I've been working on this of a few weeks now. I decided to start with the tabard & modify a Kataginu pattern for the purpose. This is the near complete right side & I'm thinking of the Jedi & Republic sigils just below the shoulders.

Here are the WIP outside & inside left parts.

As I'd run out of pieces large enough to fill in the space at the flare with one piece so I had to patch in on this side. This is what it looks like partially ironed down for hand sewing...

...and just after.

Many little stitches await my hands. This is the complete inside right shoulder seam.

This is what it'll roughly look like when it's together. I don't remember what type of fabric the tabard is but the tunic is linen and the under tunic is synth-linen.

So this is getting down there. I need to hand sew the center back down on the inside then run it over on the outside with the machine to keep it in place.

I'm thinking of the four tenants of the Jedi Code on the thin panels or my own Knowledge, Practice, Experience, & Wisdom as sigils in Galactic Standard. What do you think?

Back from the hiatus on this project. I separated out the lower panels on the back to insert darts and a fillet so it would fit my back better.

The front showing the French Seamed detail.

Then a couple of images with the Obi, which still needs a bit of work, front & back, to check fit and balance.

Got mostly finished on the Inner Tunic today before I broke my last needle. This was pretty much straight off the Kimono pattern save shortening the length, changing the neckline, incorporating the overlap panels into the front pieces, and adding the shoulder slope. I'm leaving off the sleeves as the Tabard doesn't breathe well so I want to cut down on extra material.

Awesome! and from scratch... Uniquely yours, making it all the better...

I can't wait to see the finished product! Hopefully it includes pants, though... Your legs are hairy, bro!

ROFLMAO! My wife got a great laugh out of that too. So....yes there will be pants, thank you very much for asking. But....there could be a Scottish Jedi in my future!

Q: What's a Scot wear unner his Kilt?

A: His Ghillie Brogues, of course!
