Project of the day
The bears have been on a Star Wars®™© kick for the past 9 months or so, and decided that they want to be a couple of jedi™®© for halloween. Their first idea was to go to the store and buy some cheapy star wars capes, but I thought that if they were going to have a cheapy star wars cape, it could at least be home-made capes.
Fortunately for me, the whole Star Wars™©® franchise is about as popular as G-d himself, so there are buckets of online references for how to make all of the costumes. This one was the reference I ended up using, only slightly modified by my almost-complete ignorance of sewing machines.
I'm not sure they would be durable enough for everyday use, but they're certainly good enough for halloween-related activities.
