Tempted

Okay, so I love 'Star Wars' a lot and I am a huge fan. I have always loved the costumes in the movies, especially the prequels, and lately I have been really tempted to try to make one of the costumes. When I was younger and first saw the outfits Padmé Amidala wore in all three episodes, I've always wanted to wear them. It's fun to dress up in a unique style clothing and those are my dream clothes to wear. All of her wardrobe through the three movies are gorgeous, but I want to make an item of clothing that I can wear in public. So what really caught my eye was this:

I don't want the dress underneath, even though it's pretty, what I really want is the poncho. I think it is so beautiful and I always loved the type of patterns on it. I read that the designs were inspired by things in Australia. I love to wear things on me that reference movies, but not directly. I do have T-shirts saying the title of a movie, but then I have things that only really real fans would get. Like I have The One Ring from 'Lord of the Rings', but only people that watch the movie and pay attention to stuff like that would get the reference. And I have a chain on my bag that I wear that says "Privet Drive" on it. If you pay attention in the movies, Harry Potter, Harry lives with his Aunt, Uncle and Cousin and their house is on Privet Drive. I like wearing things that are recognizable to diehard fans, so this poncho is a great way of that. But it's a really beautiful poncho and I think that I am actually going to try and make this myself. It would be a great thing to wear in the Fall and Winter and it looks really comfortable. I know that it's going to be a lot of work and I might not be done for months, but I really love this and when I start I will definitely keep this blog updated on my progress. I know how to to the basic hand sewing, but I'm not a pro at doing this. So I will probably have professional help on the cutting and patterns. If I do this one right, I could make it a hobby of mine to make 'Star Wars' outfits, or any other clothing I might like in a movie or picture.
